# Defining the Scheduler Refresh Interval

By default, ColdFusion checks the scheduled task list for newly scheduled tasks every 15 minutes. You can change this setting so that ColdFusion checks more or less frequently, by entering a new value on the Scheduler Settings page in the ColdFusion Administrator.

To change the interval ColdFusion checks for newly scheduled tasks, enter an interval value, in minutes. After changing the Scheduler refresh interval, make sure you stop and restart the ColdFusion Executive and ColdFusion Application Server services (Windows NT) or run the stop and start scripts (Solaris).

For information about running ColdFusion start and stop scripts in Solaris, and starting and stopping ColdFusion services on Windows NT, see Chapter 3, "Configuring ColdFusion Server".
