Strange Scheduled Task (Quartz) behaviour CF10

Hi,

I'm running ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on a RHEL 6 server and have come across an intersting behaviour in relation to the scheduled tasks we have setup.

We noticed that after a reboot of our ColdFusion server that the scheduled tasks weren't running correctly.

When I looked in the http.log file I could see that it was trying to execute the correct template

"Information","DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-9","10/25/13","07:18:16",,"Starting HTTP request {URL='...', method='get'}"

But the request never appears to be completed. When a task successfully runs you would expect to see a completed line as well in the http.log file

"Information","DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-9","10/25/13","07:18:21",,"HTTP request completed  {Status Code=200 ,Time taken=4896 ms}"

For some reason after the server reboot the task is triggered, but it never runs and never shows as being complete.

I was playing changing settings in the scheduled task and checked the Save output to a file check box. As soon as I did that and put in a valid path the scheduled task started to run and complete. If I uncheck output to a file the task will continue to run until the ColdFusion server is restarted. As soon as the server restarts it reverts back to not running. However if I leave the output to a file option checked and restart the CF server the task runs and completes as expected!

One other thing I noticed was that the catalina task (check for update/hotfix) would execute and return while the other tasks (quartz) wouldn't.

Has anyone seen anything similar or have any suggestions? For now i'll just make sure my tasks all output to a file, but if there was a way to fix it I would much prefer to do that.

Thanks

Simon
