This AM, when I login to the admin and click Scheduled Tasks, I get the
following error. Ideas?

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 188
-1 : Unable to display error's location in a CFML template.

Appears that my neo-cron.xml disappeared and neo-cron.bak is of size zero.
Trying to restore from backup. Any idea how this could have happened?

if you just restore that file from your backups, then everything should be
good again :-)

Only by restoring from backup. No clue as to root-cause / preventing it
from happening again.

I've seen this before when the CF service suddenly terminates. Could be the
service terminated during an update to the xml file rendering it empty. A
subsequent restart of CF may have created a backup of the xml file before
stopping, rendering the bak file empty as well.

We moved to clustered configuration for scheduled tasks which keeps all the
tasks in a database instead of a file. This has been really nice, since we
have 12 instance running for all our internals.

I think the only issue we have seen is the next run time not being updated
appropriately. I believe this has only happened once or twice in a few
years.
