[Spacewalk-list] Unnecessary action in taskomatic schedule

[Tomas Lestach]

Hey Mario,

good question.

To unschedule this particular task, use following API:

taskomatic.unscheduleSatBunch(session_key, 'compare-configs-default')

It's kind od hidden API to manipulate taskomatic configuration.
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/Features/TaskomaticAPI
(Do not search for more documentation at this time, there isn't more.)

It's definitely not recommended to change rhnTasko* tables content 
directly. It won't change the scheduling - in opposite - it would get 
the DB out of sync with the scheduling service and there's no mechanism, 
how to sync it back.

There is a new Default Task, which is named compare-configs-default. This Task ist scheduled every day at 23:00. The Main Problem is, that this Task is doing heavy load on my Satellite System and flooding every Night the Database with the Compare results, wich are very big, because we have around 800 Systems and 294 Config Files from which are round about 15 per System installed.
