I''m working on upgrading my app to the latest version of backgroundrb. Everything went find until I tried to execute my tasks. Here is my simple worker for testing: class MscWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :msc_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time end # Send a message to everyone def

Say I have a job that runs every minute, but it takes longer than a minute to execute. Will it start a new job every minute? If it does, then how would I make a job that sleeps for a certain amount of time, then restarts? I have a job that could take an hour or two to complete, and I don''t want to have multiple copies of that job running at the same time. Joe

...#39;'m going to continue to do it this way, is there a way I can have the worker delete itself when the work is done? Is this a bad idea? Or should I be thinking about a way to use a single worker to handle the multiple user tasks? Thanks again, - Jason L. -- My Rails and Linux Blog: http://offtheline.net

After some initial stumblings, I think I''ve got the hang of backgroundrb. It''s great! I''d been thinking for many many months how cool something like this would be! I''m trying to make a "job queue". That is, a pool of worker threads monitor a queue. When a job appears, one of the workers grabs it and executes the task. When complete, the worker

Hi there I''m using the latest release (r300) and ''script/backgroundrb start'' works perfectly when executed on the server, but when put inside a Rake task, it doesn''t launch the worker processes. The Rake task is as follows: task :start_backgroundrb do run "cd #{current_path} && ./script/backgroundrb start" end When I run this task, the
