Cannot connect when spawning new workers on demand
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:

getting started
Hey all,
Been reading through all the old posts (and the docs) to familiarize
myself but I still feel a bit lost.
I''m on trunk and am having a bit of a hard time knowing where to start
with the particular I''m trying to solve.
So far, I''ve downloaded backgroundrb, done the basic rails setup,
created my worker and started it using `script/backgroundrb start`.

start a worker when bdrb starts
I am sure..again I am missing something, but I am trying to start a
worker, when backgroundrb starts and it doesn''t seem to work.
Here is my config/backgroundrb_schedules.yml file:
feed_worker:
class: feed_worker
job_key: feed_worker_key
worker_method: do_work
trigger_args:
repeat_interval: 20.minutes
I even tried this from Rails controller:
# def start_feed_worker

worker starting twice
Hi gang,
Thanks to other help I''ve gotten on this list, I''ve got backgroundrb
up and running using postgres alongside my rails app. I''ve designed
the system to have several eternally-running workers that periodically
poll the database to see if there''s any work for them to do, and set
things up in the config file to make them restart quickly if any of
them

Recommendations for eternally-running backgroundrb workers?
I''ve got some workers that I want to have running all the time. Right
now I''m just launching them manually, by requesting a special page in
my rails app that includes lines like:
MiddleMan.new_worker(:class=> :receiver, :job_key=>:r,
:args=>{:sleep_time=>10})
This strikes me as a really weak way to fire up my workers. I
basically want to automate things so

backgroundrb preview
Hi Ezra/skaar,
Wow man, the exercise was worth it. The connection closed problem with
socket as i mentioned in my earlier mails...completely disappeared,
and now i can connect only once to the socket and keep reading..till
end of its days.
Literally impossible with older release of backgroundrb.
This could also potentially solve the issues people were having with
ActiveRecord.

backgroundrb launches concurrent instances of same job
Hi there,
Backgroundrb is working pretty well for me but I have a job that launches
two of the same job, apparently a minute(?) apart from each other. Should
this be happening if I have repeat interval enabled with a job_key? It
seems like it should wait until the job is finished before launching a new
instance.

scheduling worker methods in rails
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,
i''m trying desperately to schedule some worker methods within rails 2.0.2. The
problem is, both methods don''t even get called by BackgrounDRb.

error: no marshal_dump is defined for class Thread
I get this error periodically in backgroundrb.log, but only on my
production box (the one running ruby 1.8.5) - my dev box doesn''t get
this error. As far as I can tell, everything is working ok, despite
the error (I don''t really know how to determine if the jobs are
getting threaded successfully, but they are running, that I am sure
of).

Feedback on RC2
I tried to upgrade my existing application to RC2 last night. Like many, I
use this mostly for running scheduled tasks. For the moment, I''ve abandoned
the effort, but am looking forward to being able to use this. Feedback
below:
First, the reason I was looking forward to this upgrade was to use the
threaded scheduler. I have an application with long-running tasks. I found

nil-error
Hi all,
I''ve got the error below in my backgroundrb_debug.log. I''ve tried to
reproduce the error in the development environment, but the only way I
can get the same thing is by calling ask_work with a bogus worker
name. Calling it with the production code causes no error.
Here''s an example of what the code calls:
MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :agronomy_worker,

can''t call any methods on workers
Hi,
I''m a long time backgroundrb user, still stuck using the very ancient
original version from Ezra (not even Ezra''s 2.0 version, I''m using the
one that didn''t really have a version number). The 2.0 version did
very little but crash for me. Anyway I finally got some time set
aside to try out this new version you all have been developing.

[BUG] worker stopping abruptly
I have been facing this damn ugly issue since quite sometime.
So this worker reads RSS feed from Yahoo news and stores it in a DB.
The worker is scheduled to run at every 40 minutes and my
background_schedules.yml looks like this:
feed_worker:
:class: :feed_worker
:job_key: :feed_worker_key
:worker_method: :do_work

Multiple Worker Methods on Different Schedules
Quick question: If I want to schedule different worker methods defined in
the same worker to trigger at different times, is this possible? Would the
following scheduler yaml work?
:schedules:
:foo_worker:
:worker_method: method1
:trigger_args: 0 */10 * * * * *
:job_key: some_key_1
:foo_worker:
:worker_method: method2
:trigger_args: 0 */15 * * * * *

Using my models
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

A newbie question regarding BackgroundRb
Hi all,
I just read Ezra''s article on BackgroundRb and decided to use it one

script/plugin and then ran rake backgroundrb:setup to copy the yml
scripts.
Now my backgroundrb.yml looks like

querying status of worker with job_key
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'')

Delete a busy worker
I thought I could delete a busy worker by calling MiddleMan.delete_worker,
but doesn''t seem to end. I believe this was possible in 0.2, is it not in
1.0?
thanks,

Trouble using backgroundrb
Hi all,
I''m a newbie to backgroundrb and am having trouble integrating it into
my rails-app. I''m using namespaces to differentiate between the parts of
my app.
When I want to create a new worker, it seems that it cannot find the
worker object. Here''s my code:
