Hello, I have a mailer that mails out our mailing list emails. I run this by passing control to send the emails out to a backgrounDRB task. this works great. But I can''t seem to kill them off! I end up with several BackgrounDRB tasks running. I looked at using the named type of BackgrounDRB task and only ever using one, but there are times when two newsletters go out, and this obviously won''t work. Using the worker.delete command isn''t suitable as I don''t know how long a mailout will take. I thought about naming each worker, then putting this into an AR model, then running another backgrounDRB task or cronjob that logs in, checks the table to see which workers are complete and do a worker.delete... but I can''t quite get that working. What I am after (that I haven''t found) is something like a "self.kill" that i could put at the end of the do_work method as once the do_work method is complete, the backgrounDRB task should unload. Any working ideas? Thanks Mikel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
