Backgroundrb devel - May 2007 - exec format error

Hi

I have been using backgroundrb version 0.1 for a while. Unfortunately, I
have to develop on windows :(
It has worked fine for a while. However, this morning I started up and old
app that worked fine and get this error.

exec format error
from running --trace I see that the error comes from backgroundrb_tasks.rb
line 59 which reads:

 59   `#{scripts_src}/start -d`

Here is the context.
desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default values)''
  task :start do
    scripts_src = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/script/backgroundrb"

    if File.exists?(scripts_src)
    `#{scripts_src}/start -d`
    else
      puts "Backgroundrb is not installed. Run ''rake
backgroundrb:setup''
first!"
    end
  end

I have recently upgraded to rails 1.2 - could that be the problem?

Regards
Ivor

solved.

It has obviously been so long that I have forgotten that the rake tasks dont
run under windows :)

use
ruby script/backgroundrb/start instead.
