Symptom
<Hostname> FAILED TickerTaskUpdatexxxx <https://spamtrap.infowest.com/canit/manual/adminguide/pro/adminguide-proap12.php#RPS-ag-sanity-TickerTaskXXX> Task has not run since yyyy
Remedy
This is typically the result of the canitd update task having stalled. To test, on the command line enter:
ps aux | grep canitd
A response line something like the following will usually indicate the stalled process:
1280 defang 20 0 168m 26m 4328 R 100.3 0.7 6241:12 canitd: GetUpdate
To resolve, restart CanIt and then manually scheduled an RPTN update and everything seems to be fine going forward.
To restart Canit from the command line enter:
/etc/init.d/canit-system restart
Then to schedule tasks:
/usr/share/canit/scripts/run-ticker-task.pl NameOfTask
where NameOfTask is one of the below.
- UpdateDNSBLPrefix
- UpdateFromRPTN
- UpdateGeo
- UpdatePhishingLinks
- UpdatePhishingList
- UpdateRulesets
The rest will run as regularly scheduled and you should not see any more warnings.
