Backgroundrb devel - Nov 2008 - Problem with scheduled Task - gets executed several times

I have the following:

---
:backgroundrb:
   :port: 11006
   :ip: 0.0.0.0
   :environment: development
   :persistent_disabled: true
:schedules:
     :inventory_worker:
       :dummy:
         :trigger_args: * */10 * * * *


class InventoryWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker
   set_worker_name :inventory_worker
   # reload_on_schedule true

   def create(args = nil)
   end

   def dummy(args = nil)
     Inventory.create(:kadisnr => "10000", :inventory => 1)
   end
end


 >> MiddleMan.worker(:inventory_worker).worker_info
=> {:status=>:running, :worker=>:inventory_worker, :worker_key=>nil}


The Task getes executed after 10 minutes but the logfile will show me:

Inventory Create (0.2ms)   INSERT INTO `inventories` (`updated_at`,  
`kadisnr`, `inventory`, `created_at`) VALUES(''2008-11-30
19:00:41'',
''10000'', 1, ''2008-11-30 19:00:41'')
   SQL (0.4ms)   COMMIT
   SQL (0.1ms)   BEGIN
   Inventory Create (0.2ms)   INSERT INTO `inventories` (`updated_at`,  
`kadisnr`, `inventory`, `created_at`) VALUES(''2008-11-30
19:00:42'',
''10000'', 1, ''2008-11-30 19:00:42'')
   SQL (0.4ms)   COMMIT
   SQL (0.1ms)   BEGIN


so I get hundreds of new database entries.

Why is the dummy method executed several times? And why will it never  
stop again?

In your backgroundrb.yml, you''ve used an asterisk for the seconds-  
that means ''run every second''.

Not sure why it doesn''t stop.

Are you saying that those database queries are getting executed
several times between the 10 minute interval?
