Backgroundrb devel - Sep 2006 - Access worker outside of Rails?

Hi all,
Wondering if it''s possible to access a worker from outside of Rails --
I''ve
tried simply including:

require RAILS_ROOT +
''/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/backgroundrb.rb''
BackgrounDRb.MiddleMan.get_worker(key)

but, I get an error that the ''get_worker'' method is undefined.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
W

	To use it from outside of rails you need to start up a drb client in  
your script. So soemthing like this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "drb"
DRb.start_service
MiddleMan = DRbObject.new(nil, "druby://localhost:22222")
MiddleMan.get_worker(:somekey)
