Teresia:

What version of TaskForest are you using?   Typing in 'perldoc taskforest'
should show you the version.

It appears that the timezone in one of your family files is not one that
DateTime::TimeZone accepts.  Could you please send me the header lines from
your Family files? These are the lines that look like this:

start => '00:00', tz => 'GMT', days => 'Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun'


If you have many family files, you could type something like the following
from the command line (after you're in the Family directory):

grep start *

and then send me the output.

If you want, you can check with the following URL for a list of valid
timezones:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime-TimeZone/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Catalog.pm

You can also find this link on the FAQ page:

http://www.taskforest.com/docs/faq.html#tz


Hope this helps (if not, let me know :)

[Taskforest-discuss] Fwd: failure after rerun in taskforestd

[Aijaz A. <en...@us...>]

Yes, that would do it.  When you request a job be rerun and then delete the
job from the Family before the job can be rerun, the status command (which
is what the website is invoking) tries to access the missing record and that
causes the error that you see.  The system should handle this condition more
gracefully.  I'll fix this in the next release.  The next version is 1.30,
which is already out for testing, so I'll schedule this fix for the next
release after that (it should be only a couple of lines of code).

Thanks,

Aijaz.

 Ahhh….I found it.  I was testing and clicked ‘rerun’ on a job then I
stopped both taskforest and taskforestd.  I replaced the family file with a
much shorter one and restarted both taskforest and taskforestd.  After doing
that it seemed to get lost and I could never get the status page to show.  I
only got the errors which I sent you.  Just now, I  replaced the family file
 with the original and the status page is working again.  Very interesting.
