I have a sharepoint content deployment job that until recently was working fine. Now however when I click on "run now" the job creates two entries and causes the SharePoint 2010 Timer Service to halt with the following in the event log:

The SharePoint 2010 Timer service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1327 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 30000 milliseconds: Restart the service.

its immediately preceded by the following in the application log:

SharePoint Web Services Round Robin Service Load Balancer Event: Initialization Process Name: OWSTIMER Process ID: 3728 AppDomain Name: DefaultDomain AppDomain ID: 1 Service Application Uri: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:service:dcc23f2972df4ee38c5a6b12d7f58fcb#authority=urn:uuid:796a9cb5e3aa445db73c2d6c95c15bf9&authority=/Topology/topology.svc Active Endpoints: 1 Failed Endpoints:0 Endpoint List: /dcc23f2972df4ee38c5a6b12d7f58fcb/ProfileService.svc

Any ideas whats causing the timer to fail?

Do you mind if we close this question, since this seems to be fairly specific to the precise circumstances of someone changing the hostname? – SPDoctor Nov 8 '11 at 16:56

Never mind, someone had changed the host name entries in sharepoint, clearly there is some urls stored within the database that caused it to think that some urls were inaccessible. I added an Alternate Access mapping to the old url for Central Admin and it all worked magically again.
