On occasion, TaskCentre will stop running or return cryptic errors like:
"Cannot run task “Monthly Mailer” because the server has no available slots"
"Monthly Mailer" is the name of one of my tasks - substitute the name of a task, etc.
The first thing to check to see if the service is running. If it is, try restarting it - many times it has been the fix.
Also, I recommend setting up a simple task in TaskCentre that sends you an email everyday. If it does not arrive you know something is up.

The lack of available slots means that TaskCentre has run out of "execution threads". This counter is configurable through the Manage>Options menu.
If you are seeing this error try raising the execution threads to 8. You can raise it all the way up to 64 but I recommend you don't do that without increasing in small increments to test the effect. You risk overwhelming your server if this is set too high.
The heartbeat task is an excellent idea.
