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.

Hello,

i have just a question about configure the Taskomatic. Well i am using 
Spacewalk just for exprimental testing for the PostgreSQL Port, for production 
use we have Red Hat Satellite Server. But maybe some one on the list can help 
me.

My Problem is, that the new Release doesn't have the Taskomatic Config anymore 
in the /etc/rhn Config Files. It seems that all the Configs are moved to the 
database. 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.

So the Question is, how to stop this unnecessary action in the Taskomatic, i 
think i don't need this action anytime.
I have tried to update the table thntaskoschedule and set the begin Field to 
something in the future, but this doesn't help.

In the Spacewalk Documentation i only found the Configuration with entry in the 
rhn.conf File, but the Taskomatic Config doesn't exist anymore in the rhn.conf 
file.

Can anyone please explain me, how tos top this unwanted Action in the 
Taskomatic Schedule ?

Bye Mario
