Scheduled Task problems in ColdFusion 9

I have a scheduled task that generates over 5,000 email.  It runs at 10:00 PM CST and in CF8 ran without error. In CF9 it runs the memory up and crashes after 20 minutes into the task. CF8 server is Windows 2003 with CF8 32 bit CF9 server is Windows 2008 R2 with CF9 64 bit I can't keep the CF8 servers up to run this task so how can I get it working in CF9? I can send the code, it is lengthy, but what would do this in CF8 but blow up in CF9.

A garbage collection issue maybe? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

You will need to increase the memory allocated to the 64-bit instance accordingly.

Memory handling is a bit different.  Can you post the code? I have a scheduled task that generates over 5,000 email.  It runs at 10:00 PM CST and in CF8 ran without error. In CF9 it runs the memory up and crashes after 20 minutes into the task. CF8 server is Windows 2003 with CF8 32 bit CF9 server is Windows 2008 R2 with CF9 64 bit I can't keep the CF8 servers up to run this task so how can I get it working in CF9?

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- CF8 is installed in a Stand Alone configuration with 1 GB memory for everything on the server.  CF9 is in instances and the scheduled task is running within that 1 GB space.  So I should allow 2GB of RAM for the CF9 instance?

A possible option to have it run without taking over the machine would be to run the send inside a cfthread with a low priority. Otherwise it does sound like a memory issue.

I'd start with that, yes.

If you have scheduled task problems, check if you have debugging enabled on the server. Since scheduling requests originate from localhost they are likely to be in the debugging IP address filter and will generate a ton of debugging info. Normal requests aren't from localhost and will not generate the debugging info, so you will not notice that debugging is enabled under normal operation.
