Sharepoint 2010 – One or more services have started or stopped unexpectedly

sharepointsharepoint-2010

Does anyone know why I keep getting the following message in Sharepoint 2010 review problems and solutions list:

The following services are managed by
SharePoint, but their running state
does not match what SharePoint
expects: SPAdminV4. This can happen
if a service crashes or if an
administrator starts or stops a
service using a non-SharePoint
interface. If SharePoint-managed
services do not match their expected
running state, SharePoint will be
unable to correctly distribute work to
the service.

Failing Services: SPTimerService (SPTimerV4)

I assume this is referring to Sharepoint 2010 Timer Service but I can only see this in the services msc (and it is running), not in the Application Management > Manage services on server.

Does anyone know why this keeps occurring and how I can stop it?

Note – I looked in the event log and all I can see is that same error.

This guy believes it's "caused by the timer job cache being in an inconsistent state" and shows how to rebuild the jobs. Another suggestion was ensuring enough disk space.

There's some exotic solutions as well that include re-running psconfig.
