Hi all, it looks like one (or more?) jobs have been interrupted, while the spacewalk service had shut down for upgrade. I upgraded my spacewalk server from 2.2 -> 2.3 -> 2.4. Now it looks like the errata-cache bunch tasks is running forever and the errata notification mail is not started anymore. I think it gets called from errata-cache, when this has finished. <table width=440 style="border-collapse:collapse;"> <tr height=8> <td width=150 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">Errata Cache: <td width=175 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">2016-01-07 10:00:00 MEZ <td width=109 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">RUNNING <tr height=8> <td width=150 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">Errata Notification Mail: <td width=175 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">2016-01-04 08:30:00 MEZ <td width=109 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:1px 1px;">INTERRUPTED </table> When I look into the database, I can see several tasks in the rhntaskqueue but I'm pretty sure, that these tasks do not get cleared correctly, so the task is run for every server over and over again. I'm not sure! This is just my thinking. rhnschema=# select * from rhntaskqueue; org_id | task_name | task_data | priority | earliest --------+----------------------------+------------+----------+------------------------------- 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010701 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:00:45.963006+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010274 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:00:53.198001+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010527 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:01:03.768592+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010689 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:01:56.915296+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010641 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:02:41.775593+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010687 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:05:01.471365+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010650 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:05:26.492405+01 1 | update_server_errata_cache | 1000010520 | 0 | 2016-01-07 10:06:38.052352+01 (8 Zeilen) rhnschema=# Any help will be appreciated to debug this further.
