I'm not sure what "narrow" is by the period is 30 seconds. I'm seeing weirder behavior now. The task completes successfully but it quits being executed at a random time. The only way for me to fix it is to restart the scheduler process. I enabled the debug logging and here are the last two runs of my process that executed (sorry for the length, I don't wanna leave anything out though): 2012-12-16 21:39:24,315 - web2py.scheduler - INFO -

The IOErrors in the task are normal and they're caught and handled properly. This has been happening since I upgraded web2py from 1.99 to 2.2.1. The TIMEOUT problem was happening on v1.99. It doesn't run long enough for me to test if that is still happening. It just goes on like that forever. Not sure what happened. Any ideas?
