Rails - Jan 2009 - What's this called (nuby on rails question)

When your server does 1 Ruby operation a day without anyone having to
visit the site to make it happen. Let''s say the operation would be to
create an automatic blog post on your blog site every 24 hours. This
is an example what I am curious about if any RoR code can be run
without users visiting. Also is this an advanced or beginner''s topic?

Thanks!
Sam

Hi,

Based on your OS you can schedule a CRON job/ scheduled task to hit an url
to create a blog etc

Sam,

I performed an analysis on background processing alternatives (see
below). I greatly recommend rolling out your own daemon for recurring
jobs, or using starling+workling for offloading jobs from your rails
app. Both alternatives are covered in excellent railscasts by Ryan
Bates.

Cheers, Sazima

		BACKGROUND PROCESSES
		-------------------------------------

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToRunBackgroundJobsInRails

== Asynchronous Tasks

Launched from Rails request/reponse cycle + optional Message Queueing

- Options
	. ar_mailer (only for emails)	=> GOOD (only email)
	. starling + workling			=> EXCELLENT
	. Ap4r
	. Spawn / background			=> SIMPLE
	. ActiveMessaging
	. BackgroundFu
	. WorkerQueue
	. Rake in Background			=> SIMPLE
	  (http://railscasts.com/episodes/127-rake-in-background)

== Recurring Jobs (cron-style)

Scheduled or permanently running in the background

- Options
	. daemon_generator (rails_cron)	=> SIMPLE
	  http://railscasts.com/episodes/129-custom-daemon
	. BackgrounDRb
	. rufus-scheduler				=> GOOD
	. Taskr
	. UNIX Cron and Runner (simple, but consumes resources and you can''t
controll well)
