[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 1.8 - Taskomatic dying - Repo Generation

[Jonathan Hoser]

I came across this, when several repos were to be rebuild -
especially for several very full fedora repo (>25000 rpms);

The only way around that were
a) adding a bit more RAM to the taskomatic-java and
b) increasing timeout-values:

# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=4096

wrapper.ping.timeout=36000
wrapper.ping.interval=100

(In the config file, that I always forget the whereabouts - finally
found it:)
/usr/share/rhn/config-defaults/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.conf

Also refer to
