Dear all
I created a module in my_rails_project/lib/ssc.rb. I can execute the
method in rails console (i.e. SSC::Monitor.method1(a,b)). How can I
execute the method regularly? I am using Linux, can I do it using
`crontab`? Thank you.
module SSC
class Monitor
def self.method1(a,b)
bla bla bla
some code will access the model class
end
def self.method1(a,b)
end
end
end
Many thanks
Valentino

Dear all I tried script/runner for this, but every execution need to initialize the rails environment. Any other good idea for it? What is your good/best practice?

Especially if this method is accessing your models, I don''t see a way around loading your entire rails environment. I think a more common solution would be to create a rake task which you invoke with cron...

Check out http://railscasts.com/episodes/128-starling-and-workling and http://railscasts.com/episodes/130-monitoring-with-god There are a number of different ways to have a task persist, and run on a regular schedule. I''ve also previously used background-db and cron seems to be a popular option. I tend to go with whatever has the easiest tutorials that i can find! Anyone else feel free to weigh in if you have any more suggestions. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Which would be only your rake task.

Then invoke that shell script or .bat file from cron.

No quite like that. If you''re sending an HTTP GET request to any URL, you would pass parameters to the URL itself, something like: http://localhost:3000/cron?param1=value1¶m2=value2 etc What looks attractive to me about this approach (of using wget via cron instead of a rake task) is that you are not bringing up an entire rails environment to handle a task. There''s less overhead. Just be sure to lock it down with a combination of things that have been suggested here: IP Address check, local_request?, http basic authentication. There may be more you can do...

I usually use script/runner in Rails for such needs. wget may or may not work depending on how restful your routes are and controller action is.
