Backgroundrb devel - Jul 2007 - Problem with scheduled task mysteriously stopping

Hi there,

I have a scheduled task which I started from Rails, set to run every  
5 minutes, it takes probably about 20-30 seconds to execute (it''s  
aggregating some feeds). It ran for about 5 hours and then  
mysteriously stopped -- the logs show no errors.

This kind of sucks because it''s like a silent failure, has anyone  
else had this problem?

Other than that, you might have to comb through and look for other places
that are eating exceptions.

Good luck.  Hope this helps.

Well, I restarted mine and it''s been running fine for a week or so.

It would be very nice if errors & exceptions were automatically  
logged without having to do extra work.
