Hi,
I have some application level variables.
They are currently being reloaded automatically when they expire, by some code
in my application.cfm file.
However, i would rather reload them every night at a certain time (some of
them take a while to load so I'd rather do it when the site is quieter, and I'd
like to get the fresh data ready to use on the next day).

I have used cfschedule to set up a nightly task to reload them fine, but what
I don't understand is the automatic expiry thing. Say my app was started at
lunchtime, and I have the application timeout set to two days. And a nightly
task runs at midnight. Will the application variables always stay loaded, or
could they expire two days after the lunchtime it was started. I.e. is the
lifetime from application start, or from when I set a value for them?

Thanks!
