FYI, I *think* I found the problem -- Sorry, I guess I didn't understand from the log that the task WAS submitted successfully, but the MAIL message failed. When I thought to check the mail.log file, I found: SMTP server replied "Unable to connect to mail server." Looks like our corporate infrastructure folks did a number on us again - can't ping the server now <sigh>. Thanks anyway, -Ben ===================================== Hi all, CF 4.5.1 SP2 Win 2K Server Local intranet I put a task in the Scheduler via the Admin page. (It uses cf_mail to send a test alpha pager message to a small group, with a corresponding confirm message to their mailbox.) Start date, no End date. Recurring daily at 11:00:00 Operation: HTTPRequest URL = .cfm page on a local box The day I put it in the scheduler (7/30/01), the task worked fine. The next day (7/31/01) it worked fine. Since then, it has not worked at all. Scheduler.log shows: "Information","TID=752","08/01/01","10:52:35","Refreshing scheduled task list initiated." "Information","TID=752","08/01/01","10:52:35","Refreshing scheduled task list completed." "Information","TID=1424","08/01/01","11:00:35","Scheduled action Pagertest, template safari/it/frstest/mailtest.cfm submission initiated." "Information","TID=1424","08/01/01","11:00:35","Scheduled action Pagertest, template safari/it/frstest/mailtest.cfm submitted successfully." But *only* on the first two days did the log show: "Information","TID=752","07/31/01","15:46:35","Scheduling task Pagertest." "Information","TID=752","07/31/01","15:46:35","Task Pagertest next scheduled submission is 11:00:00 AM. " Any ideas? Thanks. Ben Braver Information Technology Ultramar Inc.
