Hi, Is it possible to start a worker with job_key and then ask_status of that specific worker with the job_key? MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'', :worker_method => :auth) and then MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :auth_worker, :job_key=>''1'') >From my testing of the new backgroundrb, asking status using job key

Hi, I''m using backgroundrb 0.2.1 and having problem with worker processes staying around when the rails application does not explicitly delete them. Is there a way to automatically delete the worker processes when it has completed the job? Also does killing the process manually (using kill command) harm the backgroundrb server? I have some occasions where the backgroundrb server just

I''m getting the following error (when doing script/backgroundrb start) on my local machine, which is running os x 10.4.11. However, it works just fine on my linux server.

Hi Folks, I am glad to announce 1.0 release of BackgrounDRb. This would be a major release since 0.2 release of BackgrounDRb. Here is a brief summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is DRb no longer. It makes use of EventDriven network programming library packet ( http://packet.googlecode.com ). - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally

Can anyone explain why BackgrounDRb is switching form DRb to SMTP protocol? That seems like a lot of overhead to add to the messaging back and forth? Orion

I''m just curious where does the process status get stored? Is it in the backgroundrb process, or some external storage? The reason I''m asking is because I have been doing stress testing by creating thousands of workers (with uniq job_key), each does register_status and exit after it''s done. I have been monitoring the memory usage of the backgroundrb server. At first the

Hi, A pre-release version of backgroundrb is available now from svn. Download it from here: http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/branches/version099/ Since this release marks significant migration from existing practices, i intend to keep trunk untouched for a while. There are no install scripts, but you should copy "backgroundrb" file from script directory of plugin to script

Hi, we are trying to use BDRB for background processing of long-running reports, and have two issues - one is that worker does not see our Report class from Rails, throws a: /var/apps/ror_trunk/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/master_worker.rb:22:in `load'': undefined class/module Report (ArgumentError) from

Hi Folks, BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks. Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced from http request/response cycle. This new release of BackgrounDRb is also modular and can be used

Hey guys, I was playing with the cron trigger, and I noticed that wday is not honored. Looking at the code confirms this. Has anyone else seen this?

What does the method query_all_workers() do? There is no documentation on what this method returns (1.0.1 version). Orion -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/attachments/20080118/9f9b8112/attachment.html

Hi, just updated backgroundrb to release 1.0.1 and am getting this error when trying to start backgroundrb. vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/framework/core.rb:18: uninitialized constant Packet::ClassHelpers (NameError) Just updated from r298 where everything was working fine. If I comment out the offending line then backgroundrb starts but I can''t connect to it from my app. Anyone have any

When I call ask_status on a worker that has not been started I get and exception of type BackgrounDRb::BdrbConnError, which is fine. I can deal with that, but I also find that the backgroundrb process dies as well. The scenario is simple: Call ask_status on a worker that is not auto loaded. I used a job_key, in case that makes a difference. -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi , If you are following commits, I have pushed following changes: 1. Now, you can specify :environment option in config file to load production environment and stuff. 2. Exeptions that were exposed to the user has been changed to BdrbConnError if rails is not able to connect to bdrb server. 3. loading mechanism has been changed, so remove backgroundrb script from your backgroundrb directory

Hello, Does reload_on_schedule force the worker to be reloaded even if it is already running? Or does it just load the worker if its not running when the schedule fires? I want to load the worker at the scheduled time if its not running, but I don''t want to reload the worker if its already running. Make sense? Thanks, Scott

I''m running the latest from svn (rev 285). I''ve been having a problem launching a process repeatedly. What happens is that I get a debug message "some read error" and then the worker refuses to run again. I''ve stripped my worker down to just doing a puts and it still happens. Like the other threads I want to launch my workers as needed, however I get the

Hi! I''m using the latest&greatest backgroundrb with rails 2.0.2 on ubuntu dapper. I''ve made an app that lets you run a query on several servers at once, which are selected at runtime. Therefore, for each server that is selected, I spawn a new worker and assign its work. After everything is completed, the workers are deleted. I often get this error:
