[Spacewalk-list] Taskomatic crashes during repodata generation

[Jeremy Maes]

Hey

Recently I've started syncing a couple of bigger repositories (RHEL, 
CentOS, ...) and since then my taskomatic will almost systematically 
crash every time it gets to the "Generating new repository metadata for 
channel" stage. When it does, it usually seems to crash very fast after 
starting this task for one of the bigger channels.

I've already enabled debug logging, but the only errors I'm getting are:
*/var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log
*
> ERROR  | wrapper  | 2014/10/31 21:46:46 | JVM appears hung: Timed out 
> waiting for signal from JVM.
> ERROR  | wrapper  | 2014/10/31 21:46:46 | JVM did not exit on request, 
> terminated
> STATUS | wrapper  | 2014/10/31 21:46:47 | JVM exited in response to 
> signal SIGKILL (9).
> ERROR  | wrapper  | 2014/10/31 21:46:47 | Unable to start a JVM
> STATUS | wrapper  | 2014/10/31 21:46:48 | <-- Wrapper Stopped

*/var/log/messages
*
> Oct 31 21:46:46 spacewalk wrapper[22867]: JVM appears hung: Timed out 
> waiting for signal from JVM.

Apart from those I can't seem to find any other error messages (not in 
the taskomatic log, not in syslog, not in tomcat logs, ...) at the same 
time that could indicate what is going wrong.

Anyone have any pointers as to where I could look next to hopefully 
solve this problem? We're starting to use spacewalk more and more and 
taskomatic always crashing is getting to be an issue. Of course I could 
use a cronjob to check its status periodically and restart it if 
necessary, but that's only a bandaid solution...
