Three things:
1) CF Admin's add/edit tasks page currently has a simple cron example. It would be helpful to add a more complex example.
2) The cfschedule documentation page currently has no cron examples. It would be helpful to have cron syntax and examples documented.
3) CF Admin's add/edit tasks page, in the Crontime section, should probably have a link to the cron syntax/examples in #2 above.

A more complex cron example: 0 */2 0-10,21-0 * * ?

This task runs every 2 minutes. It begins at 0 and runs until 10:58. It resumes at 21 and runs until 0:58.

Verified this is fixed in CF10 Final (build 10,282462). However, there is a slight typo on this page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Developing/WSe61e35da8d31851899e53a51353e870493-8000.html#community It says "For example, "0 */2 3-10,21-23 * * ?" the task should be executed every 2 minutes from 3:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 9:00 PM to 11:58 PM daily." The "3:00 AM to 10:00 AM" should be "3:00 AM to 10:58 AM". Thanks, -Aaron
