Coldfusion 11 Update 4 scheduled task error

Question

My scheduled tasks stopped and on going into Administrator I got:

The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code.

Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.




The error occurred in scheduletasks.cfm: line 190
-1 : Unable to display error's location in a CFML template.

I found some posts referring to earlier versions of CF and the neo-cron.xml file. This file was blank. I replaced with the file from my development server as per the posts.

Can anyone advise why this problem occurred (and has occurred to others)? - I cannot afford to have scheduled tasks anything less than bullet-proof

Regards

Richard

I ran into this problem when switching the service to run under a different user instead of the local service account.

The neo-cron.xml file was filled with nulls and the new-cron.bak file did not get created.
