Rails - May 2007 - Initializing a Scheduler

I have a need for a scheduler to run from inside of my rails
application.  I am familiar with Java (J2EE) and new to Ruby.  In Java I
would have used a framework called Quartz.  I would have created a
servlet and in the init method started up the Quartz framework.  I have
created a new Ruby class and called it StartCron.rb in the Components
folder of my Rails app.  I have been playing with the development.rb
file to test my class.  I have done this:
[code]
config.after_initialize do
  cron = StartCron.new
  cron.run
end
[/code]

I get this error when I start WEBrick...
[code]
=> Booting WEBrick...
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:477:in
`const_missing'': uninitialized constant Rails::Initializer::StartCron
(NameError)
        from
script/../config/../config/environments/development.rb:24:in
`load_environment''
        from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/initializer.rb:335:in
`after_initialize''
        from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/initializer.rb:114:in
`process''
        from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/initializer.rb:43:in
`run''
[/code]

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the StartCron.rb file
[code]
require "rubygems"
require ''openwfe/util/scheduler''

class StartCron
    def StartCron.run
      OpenWFE.scheduler = Scheduler.new
      OpenWFE.scheduler.start

      # Simple usage
      OpenWFE.scheduler.schedule_every(''2s'') { p
''every 2 seconds'' }

      OpenWFE.scheduler.join
    end
end
[/code]

This runs fine standalone.
