I''ve now got 5 processes auto started. But I when I query the MiddleMan for their keys (in script/console), it doesn''t find them. Looking at the start script, it looks like it might be creating a new MiddleMan object for each autostart BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new.new_worker(:class => entry[''class''], Even changing it to BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => entry[''class''], didn''t seem to take care of it. I even tried to create a single MiddleMan and pass that to autostart, still to no avail. Is there a way to have the autostarted jobs be manages by the main MiddleMan object? Cheers, Brett
I think I''ve got it figured out. Turns out I was mucking with the plugin''s start.rake instead of the one in scripts/backgroundrb. My idea seems to work. In the 2 places where this line exits DRb.start_service("druby://#{CONFIG[''host'']}:#{CONFIG[''port'']}", BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new(CONFIG[''timer_sleep''] || 60)) replace with middle_man = BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new(CONFIG[''timer_sleep''] || 60) DRb.start_service("druby://#{CONFIG[''host'']}:#{CONFIG[''port'']}", middle_man) This keeps the middle man that was created and attached to the DRb service. Now we pass that into Auto.start Auto.start(middle_man) and use it to autostart the jobs def self.start(middle_man) ....... middle_man.new_worker(:class => entry[''class''], :args => entry[''args''], :job_key => key) This gives me access to the jobs via the MiddleMan in my application. Does this seem safe and a valid fix? Cheers, Brett On 8/7/06, Brett Walker <lapomme00 at gmail.com> wrote:> I''ve now got 5 processes auto started.
