Backgroundrb devel - Nov 2006 - schedule support on latest svn, a question

I''m running the latest backgroundrb mainly for scheduled tasks support.

As per the documentation I created the backgroundrb_schedules.yml with
the following:

simple_label:
  :class: :document_sorter_worker
  :worker_method: :do_work
  :job: :bleh
  :trigger_args:
    :start: <%= Time.now + 5.seconds %>
    :end: <%= Time.now + 10.minutes
    :repeat_interval: 1.minute

Under lib/workers I have the following class:

class DocumentSorterWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase

  def do_work(args)
    logger.info(''DocumentSorterWorker do work'')
    results[:do_work_time] = Time.now.to_s
    results[:done_with_do_work] ||= true
  end

end
DocumentSorterWorker.register

Basically does nothing but log that it''s running.

After running "script/server run" this is what I have in
backgroundrb_server.log:

20061120-17:04:52 (31960) port: 2000

As far as I can tell backgroundrb loads my worker but I don''t see any
indication that its being ran every minute. At least not in
development.log and backgroundrb_server.log

Am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance.

I should probably remove the active_support reference in the docs, what
if you try to just to:

   :repeat_interval: 60

(repeat interval is in seconds)
/skaar

Skaar,
