What is the best way to handle lengthy operations with Rails (lengthy in this case could be a minute or even more)? I want to give response to the user about what is happening so I guess polling the server with ajax is one way to get data to the browser. But what do I do with the lengthy operation?

I realize that this may not be optimal but the code evolved that way and breaking it into smaller pieces is complicated because of the passing of arguments. I have "cat(date())" statements at

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

My organization has a policy against "installing software downloaded from the Internet." There is a waiver procedure, but it is difficult and lengthy. It is much easier to get approval to purchase software, even if it is a CD copy of open-source. However, a search on r-project.org didn't seem to show any way of obtaining the distribution in this way. Any clues would be appreciated! <>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=&lt...
