Action="update" is correct. Action="run" will actually run a previously
scheduled event (As in: "Do it now").
When you say you "don't see it happening", what do you mean? Do you have
access to the CF Administrator? If so, you'll see whether or not the event
was successfully scheduled. As to whether or not the event actually _runs_
when you expect, that's a different matter. Many people have had miserable
luck getting the CF Scheduler to work properly, going back to at least CF
2.0.
A couple of other issues: Registry access must be enabled on the server for
CFSCHEDULE to be able to add and update scheduled events, since CF stores
scheduled events in the registry. There's also a 'Scheduler Refresh
Interval' that is set on the CF server that tells CF how often to look for
newly scheduled tasks. A newly scheduled task will not run until CF sees
it. You shouldn't count on the newly scheduled task to run until a period
of at least that refresh interval has expired.
