Check the RHNTASKQUEUE in the oracleDB..... I saw this when I had a repo I had configured to get a sync on... then I deleted the channel (this was during POC of the system). The job was still listed to run but the channel no longer existed. Had to clear the table of the row that had NULL taskdata. <div class="gmail_quote">2009/12/11 Jason Frisvold <<a href="mailto:xenophage0@gmail.com">xenophage0@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi all, I seem to be having some trouble keeping Taskomatic running. It seems to run for a day, sometimes two, but then stops without warning. I think this is causing some of the problems I've been seeing. I'm getting constant emails with the following: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.errata.ErrataCacheDriver.getCandidates(ErrataCacheDriver.java:59) at com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.threaded.TaskQueue.run(TaskQueue.java:106) at com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.ErrataCacheTask.execute(ErrataCacheTask.java:57) at com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.SingleThreadedTestableTask.execute(SingleThreadedTestableTask.java:54) at org.quartz.core.JobRunShell.run(JobRunShell.java:203) at org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:520) Is there something I should be looking for to resolve this?
