Hello - I would like to figure out a way to have backgroundrb start/stop with the same UID that dispatch.fcgi uses, at the same point in time that apache is started/stopped. I see a technique that seems plausable in this archive message: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2007-February/000723.html which addresses the starting aspect, in a lazy fashion. That seems fine,

...f database references. I also had a quick play with loading up irb and then requiring the config/boot.rb and config/ environment.rb files. Once I had done this I could access all my Rails models as I would expect. So I was wondering why the RailsBase class tries to do more than just require BACKGROUNDRB_ROOT + ''/config/boot.rb'' require BACKGROUNDRB_ROOT + ''/config/environment.rb'' if BackgrounDRb needs to set its own rails_env so that it can use a different database or something like that then ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] would need to be set before requir...

...ual, it''s not in there. My solution so far is to subclass WorkerProxy, with a new init method that takes the host and port as parameters: class BackgrounDRb::CustomProxy < BackgrounDRb::WorkerProxy def self.init(ip, port) @@config = BackgrounDRb::Config.read_config("#{BACKGROUNDRB_ROOT}/ config/backgroundrb.yml") @@server_ip = ip @@server_port = port new end end But this doesn''t seem very elegant to me, I worry about future software updates... Is there a clean method for doing this or is this just not supported (yet)? Thanks for any insight...

You should also config "backgroundrb.yml" file from config directory of plugin to config directory of rails root. There is one sample worker available in BACKGROUNDRB_ROOT/sample_worker directory. There is also a sample client available. Currently, passing of ActiveRecord objects is not supported. Although, We can do that, but in most situations, passing ''id'' of object is enough i thought. Also, you may encounter some bugs when you are passing larg...

Hi, I''m having a problem where connections started through BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init are not stopped, resulting in an ever growing established connections between my Mongrels and remote backgroundrbs I added DRb.stop_service to my code executed after requests that init MiddleManDRbObjects but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Bjarnason

Hey all, I''m having some issues moving a project that incorporates Backgroundrb onto a staging server... For some reason (surely of my own doing), my RailsBase workers are insisting on using trying to access my development DB instead of my "production" DB. When I try to load a model object from within a worker, I get the following: 20061120-21:54:28 (26296)
