a worker that can't "piggyback" its presence NEEDS to be assumed as dead.

in this case, you won't have any scheduler_run records. Those are created 
when the task gets picked up.

Perfect, but maybe you should monitor if they ALWAYS fail and avoid 
restarting them ?!?!!?

This seems to point out that the problem isn't a really long task that gets 
stuck, but rather that your task even before the "10 seconds" has issues, 
or the scheduler has trying to pick that up.

use logging.conf (enable DEBUG log for root and web2py, then in 
consolehandler) and start the scheduler with

web2py.py -K appname -D 0
