Our production website built on Umbraco v7.2.6 runs on a load balanced environment where the load is distributed into two IIS servers called "web01" and "web02". But once in a while the IIS app pool crashes bringing down the website with it. When I visit the log files just after a crash I can see errors related to scheduled publishing has been registered. I am not sure how to fix the issue. Is there an way to disable the scheduled publishing task?

Settings in Umbraco settings.config is below:

  <scheduledTasks baseUrl="web01.website.com/umbraco/">
  </scheduledTasks>
  <distributedCall enable="true">
    <user>0</user>
    <servers>
      <server>web01.website.com</server>
      <server>web02.website.com</server>
    </servers>
  </distributedCall>

The errors logs shows as below:
