Backgroundrb devel - Sep 2008 - Determining whether shared code is running in a worker

Hello Hemant et al -

        I have a module which is common to my foreground Rails code and 
some of my workers.  Is there a way to determine whether I am running in a 
worker?  I can''t use the session because not all my foreground code has
a
session; some is run as callbacks to the foreground and has no session. 
There may have been a question about this in the past, but, if so, I 
haven''t found it.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Regards, alan

Sure, 

There are couple of ways:

1. worker_name method will be available inside your worker code and
should be non nil.
2. If inside worker code, you will have access to many worker unique
attributes (like thread_pool), you can check for those and make
conditions.
