Currently in production we monitor that the taskomatic process is running on one of the scripts boxes. It was found that this was insufficient b/c it's possible to enter a state where the process is running the the oracle connections are severed and no longer functioning. We need a better way to monitor taskomatic to insure that it is doing it's job correctly and not just sitting there. There was at one point a script that checked the database but it no longer works (could be library issues could be code changes) that was used when RHN ran their own production environment.
over to ksmith for consideration during their java rewrite.

As you may already be aware, Red Hat is transitioning from the Red Hat Network (RHN) hosted interface to the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) interface in July 2017. Red Hat has invested in and seen success from RHN for many years, and used that experience to build more robust technologies like RHSM. If you have not yet migrated your RHN systems to RHSM or you are a Red Hat Satellite customer, please review the information from. https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#migration. Since we are shutting down RHN, no further actions will be taken with this bug or enhancement request. You can find additional information at RHSM product page (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management). If you have further questions, please contact support (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#support).
