First: a little background---- I have a client who very recently moved an app from Win2k/CF4.5 to Linux/CF5 (both using the same MSSQL db.) With probably only modest testing, he decided it was working and went live with the Linux version. (fyi--- I just inherited this app written by someone else so I know very little about the code)
Now: the problem----- Yesterday I get reports that people's sessions are timing out every few minutes in spite of what the CFAdmin/CFApplication settings are for session timeouts. I track the session timeout issue down to the point where it's clear that the problem is that the CFServer is restarting every few minutes. Here are some server log entries. "Information","1024","11/26/01","18:26:23",,"The ColdFusion Application Server was stopped." "Information","1024","11/26/01","18:29:17",,"The ColdFusion Application Server started." "Fatal","7175","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Caught a fatal signal (11) - Aborting" "Information","1024","11/26/01","18:30:04",,"The ColdFusion Application Server started." We have TONS of these fatal signal(11) / server restarting messages.... every few minutes. Then I take a look at the scheduled jobs....... look at these log entries: "Information","4101","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Scheduled task 'Task1' for URL request 'http://xxx.net/event1/event.cfm' initiated." "Information","5126","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Scheduled task 'Task2' for URL request 'http://xxx.net/event2/expire/index.cfm' initiated." "Error","7175","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Status code for task: 'Task1' is '500 Internal Server Error'" "Information","4101","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Scheduled task 'Task1' for URL request 'http://xxx.net/event1/event.cfm' completed." "Information","5126","11/26/01","18:30:02",,"Scheduled task 'Task2' for URL request 'http://xxx.net/event2/expire/index.cfm' completed." It does seem to me that there's something about these scheduled jobs that's crashing the server. So my question to the group is thus: a) does anyone have experience with the CF5/Linux scheduler..... good or bad to report b) could we bypass the scheduler entirely and use CRON to launch the batch jobs (if yes... plz supply specific details on how to get that to work..... thx) tia, Tobe Goldfinger At 09:09 AM 11/27/2001 , you wrote: > Lonny, Hi Tobe.

The CF Scheduler appears to be even "touchier" in this regard than it was in CF4.5. We were able to track it down because the application in question was dying every few minutes (3 minutes in Test environment for example). Sure enough we had an e-mail message cannon that is fired every few minutes. If this is not helpful, let's move the discussion to the list. Also, include snippets from the server logs. > At first he was telling me that his session vars are timing out > prematurely, but I see that his server logs have the same "fatal > signal(11)" crap you mention below Lonny Eckert Mi Services Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] (610) 230-2500 x147 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-linux%40houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_linux or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
