Hi guys, I understand how to monitor long running processes with monit or god, but I don''t understand how to monitor Cron jobs (for memory bloating notably) since such processes - always have different PIDs when they start - are precisely supposed to stop when they are done, then restart when asked (vs running all the time). I have been looking on the web for a while, but

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

I''m trying to run a rails script using cron and I keep getting the following error: /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/../config/boot.rb:18:in `require'': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/../config/boot.rb:18 from /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/runner:2 When I run the script from ssh it

There are so many ways to do cron jobs in Rails (Backgroundrb, script/ runner, etc.) but I am wondering what would be the best to use in production, just for sending out email/SMS notifications? For example, an email automatically gets sent a day before the due date of a project milestone.

Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications?

Hi, I am using ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3 for my application. I have written a bash script which I want to run in cron. If I directly run the bash file it runs. If I run it through the cron I get the following error:- "/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': no such file to load -- rails/commands/runner (LoadError) from

Hello, until now I allways used script/runner for running Rails cron jobs I wonder is there is any benefit (except not having any fake runner model in the models directory) to use a rake task instead in lib/tasks Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hey all, I have a spec that is hanging when it is running. How do I get the rspec runner to show what specs it''s running so I can which one is hanging? I am calling the runner from my rails project. Thanks, Ben

Like most people, I''ve got two machines: one for development and one for production. I''ve done everything I can to make sure the ruby/rails environments are the same, but of course they''re not identical (I''ll get into that in a moment). The error that I''m getting happens when I call a method in a background task controller on the production machine; I

Howdy, I''m trying to debug a situation where a Rails app running on Mongrel +Apache stops listening to requests. Restarting Mongrel and Apache brings it back to life.

I have a production site that has a couple of batch jobs, I have used script/runner and cron to run these jobs. This works ok for jobs that only run once overnight during off peak. I am expiring sessions older than 30 mins every 15 mins using script/runner, but I''m concerned about the hit of script/runner loading up the whole rails environment, specifically since I only have a 256MB

I have some jobs running through cron jobs and runner that suddenly starts failing. This is how it looks: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.2/lib/commands/runner.rb:47 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from

I''m developing an application using RoR that will generate enough email notifications that I don''t want them in the actual web application. So, I''m thinking about having an outgoing queue that a cron job would pick up and deliver. My question is if this is possible with a ruby script that uses ActiveRecord and ActiveMailer?

Hello, I''m trying to figure out how I could implement fragment caching that expires every x amount of time. I thought of writing a runner script that would expire the cache and set it as a cron job, but that doesn''t really work because runner scripts act on models and not controllers. Does anybody have any ideas? Regards, -carl

I started emailing monit mailing list because I started getting this problem where I couldn''t start backgroundrb with monit anymore, thinking it was a monit problem. However, I back tracked a bit since I had added code to my project, and monit was able to start backgroundrb again. I seem to have zeroed in on the problem. I''m not sure where the problem lies - maybe monit or

Say I want to send out an email once a day to people who''s name is "Bob". Would I use script/runner in conjunction with cron? Or is there another cool(er) way now? Thanks, Joe

I''ve been using script/runner to add and delete files from the database in response to inotify events. This works in theory, but is too slow to keep up with a large number of events in succession; I''m suspecting that the bottleneck is that script/runner has a huge startup cost. One thing I thought of was to queue inotify events, and call script/runner once a minute to clear the
