<p>Hi All, Is there a way to define scheduled task execution time to the specific seconds? The idea is to have multiple tasks executing at the same interval, but the time of execution is spread out. Currently, I have 3 different scheduled tasks that execute every 30 seconds. Each task takes the result of the previous task to create an outcome.

<p>You can schedule each Start Time to be 10 seconds apart (12:00:00,12:00:10,12:00:20) and repeat every 30 seconds.</p><p>Wouldn’t it be better to chain the tasks together programmatically so on completion of Task 1, it calls Task 2, and completion of Task 2, it calls Task 3?  Then you’d only need to schedule Task 1 to repeat every 30 seconds, starting at 12:00:00 and your final result could be ready much quicker.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Tagging onto what <a href="https://coldfusion.adobe.com/profile/Hemi345">Hemi345</a> suggested, the `<cfschedule />` has an `onComplete` attribute you can use to chain tasks which would probably give you much more reliable results.
