I want to build some functionality that hooks into the ColdFusion Scheduler API, however several methods I need do not exist in the API.  As a workaround I have to read in the neo-cron.xml file (this won't work for clustered tasks stored in a DB, either) and create my own custom functions to get the data I need.  Specifically, I'm looking for a getTasks() function that acts like the getDatasources() function in the datasource API.  The function would look like this:

public any getTasks ( taskName )

Returns a structure containing all scheduled tasks or a specified task.

Output: suppressed
Parameters:
   taskName: any, optional, taskName- The name of the scheduled task for which a structure is returned.

We do have the list action on cfschedule tag which can be used for this purpose.

Deferring it since we already have a simple work around to get the task details.

I missed the new action="list" for cfschedule. That's a decent workaround for now. I'd still like to see it added to the admin api at some point, though.

+1, but it should return a query (IMO) just like <cfschedule action="list"
