Hey All, I am looking for an example of the proper config settings for background rb to run my rails app and my backgroundrb instance on separate machines (or more precisely, to have a rails cluster with one backgroundrb machine). Does anyone have such examples? Thanks! -Noah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I just installed backgroundrb on our server. When tryin to start via script/backgroundrb i get a no method error. ./script/backgroundrb start /home/tom/ralf_dev/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/backgroundrb_server.rb:34:in `format_message'': undefined method `strftime'' for "2006-12-04T15:53: 23.419225 ":String (NoMethodError) from

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

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

Hi!

I wrote the following script to run garbage collection on Backgroundrb workers older than 30 minutes: class WorkerCleaner def self.remove_stale_workers MiddleMan.gc!(Time.now - 60*30) end end I stuck is under /lib in my Rails app and run it using script/runner from a cron job. The only problem I''m seeing is that this script kills my backgroundrb_results and backgroundrb_logger

Hello, I''m trying to send emails from a backgroundrb worker and the email doesn''t send. I get no log messages in the sendmail log or the system log, nothing in the backgroundrb logs at all, nothing in the production log. Below is my code for each component worker: class QuizReviewerWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :quiz_review_sender def create(args =

Hi there I have recently upgraded to v1.0.1 and I''ve noticed an issue which I don''t believe was present in the 0.2 release. In my worker class I am logging errors as follows: logger.error "the error message" However, this now causes an exception to be thrown in the new version: undefined method `error'' for

Hey all, I''ve come accross BackgrounDRb and I have to say it''s a wounderful piece of software. It has the potential to solve so many of the problems that I am facing with a current RoR project. Like many others I was having issues with the scheduling side of things, I noticed that hemant said there was a new version coming out. So I checked out the version from trunk, and have

I''ve scheduled cron jobs etc before, but I''m curious as to how to layout a worker properly. Here''s a basic example of what one of my workers looks like: class FooWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :foo_worker def create(args = nil) logger.info("Starting test: #{Time.now.strftime("%T")}") run_test logger.info("Finished test:

Hello, i need to have some jobs scheduled in the background and executed at specific times. I wanted to make a worker who does that - and it works a little bit - but i had an enlightment... why not make bgdrb itself play that role? i mean, the MiddleMan has already everything needed! a timer thread, currently used only for deleting old workers and the workers itself. since im not familiar with

I have a previous question regarding long tasks and the thread_pool (sorry for the dup, I didn''t see the first go through). To try and track things down, I made a change based on a suggestion found in the archives. I moved my import contacts worker to its own file and set the pool_size to 1. class ImportContactsWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name

Hi all I''m experiencing something strange with a :job_key, it took me a very long time to find out a worker wasn''t doing it''s job because of the name of my job_key. The first one I tried was :make_kohier, and with that name (and lot''s of other ones) I can''t get the worker to work. I do get my key in return, but the job doesn''t start

Hi everyone, I''m new to backgroundrb, and I''m trying to get started with a simple example, yet with no success. This is the code that I have in RAILS_ROOT/lib/workers/testing_worker.rb class TestingWorker < BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase def do_work(args) # This method is called in it''s own new thread when you # call new worker. args is set

I have a scheduled worker that runs every minute, checking for new eBay auctions to post. If it finds an auction, then it posts it. If there are no auctions in the database that are queued up, it simply does nothing. I got the worker to finally run as a scheduled worker, every minute. However, after about 30-45 scheduled runs, it simply stops running. My backgroundrb_schedules.yml file: ------

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to
