Likely the same as our crons are doing - they just do some key scanning and enqueue tasks to the taskqueue, having their own retry policy. The cron job itself only runs for a few seconds until all tasks are dispatched.
Unfortunately from time to time this simple operation fails. When it happens we can see that the cron request was aborted after 10 minutes. For some reason the handler doesn't start correctly and app engine times out after 10 minutes marking the cron as failed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
