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)

Hi Tobe.  I have taken the liberty of also sending my reply to the list
because I did not follow-up there as to our corrective action(s).  You are
the second person to have contacted me outside the list with a similar
problem ...

 > did you ever resolve this problem

Yes, we did.

 > I have a client who switched to CF5 and now has the exact same problem

The problem in our case was a scheduled event in which the called template
was non-existant.  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.
