Server settings for BackgrounDRB?
I have backgroundrb working locally and everything''s fine. However, i
can''t get it running on our server.
I read a blog post by David Burger about backgroundrb
(http://david-burger.blogspot.com/2008/04/backgroundrb-rails-notes.html#comment-form)
and it says that you set up your backgroundrb.yml file with a different
section for each environment you want to use. Mine looks like

State of backgroundrb (dupe?)
Hi, pardon if this is a duplicate mail, I forgot to click the
subscription link the first time around.
I''ve been using backgroundrb for a while now (older version) and I''ve
had so many headaches because of it that I began looking for a
replacement technology. And then I saw the new and shiny backgroundrb
website, looking good!
Initially I used the version maintained by

BackgrounDRb version 1.0RC1 available now
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

Deploying to a staging server using Capistrano: how to start up BackgrounDRb?
Hi.
I am using BackgrounDRb to process thumbnails and upload to S3 -
things are hunky-dory in development (thumbs are generated, these are
uploaded to S3, the metadata is saved to trhe DB, and I get a nice
status page updated by periodic calls via ask_status), but when I
tried to deploy to our staging server and stop/start BackgrounDRb via
Capistrano, things blew up - well, not exactly,

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`.

Deploying to production with backgroundrb (capistrano)
I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i
deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to
ssh into the box and manually
stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers.
this is my basic setup
i have 2 workers:
lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an

Connection to backgroundrb is lost when exiting action method
Hey.
I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong.
Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some
controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action,
suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost:
DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222
Pid: 3976
Autostart...
done

{worker} after :end-time worker freaks out
Hi all,
i was using bdrb a while ago and it wasn''t stable enough in version
0.2.1 for doing the job - it loss jobs or did execute only the first one
invoked and so on.
Now i gave the new version a try and i found a bug at playing around.
When i start a worker_method over the normal Unix scheduler bdrb will
start as much as possible the worker_method after the :end-time is reached.

backgroundrb scheduler
I''ve been having a terrible time with the backgroundrb scheduler. The
issues I''m having is that the scheduled actions aren''t ran at all and if
they do, the process stays around forever. I''m using the backgroundrb as a
nightly cron to run some accounting operations.
questions:
1. How can I have the process destroyed after the worker completes?
2. Any idea on

Can BackgrounDrb help me?
I have a big report to produce from a Rails app that takes several minutes
to put together. I hoped backgroundrb would be able to pull together all
the ActiveRecord stuff in the background then throw it back to Rails for
rendering.
It seems, however, that I can''t pass an array of ActiveRecord objects from
the worker back to Rails. Do I have that right?
Another possibility was to do

Backgroundrb with Load Balancing Rails engines
Hi there,
We run several (3-4) Rails servers behind the reverse proxy / load
balancing web server serving the single application. All Rails
instances share the same database and use the database as a session
storage. Memcached is also part of the picture.
I''m looking into using Backgroundrb for some large uploads / parsing
task that provide progress status updates (via ajax calls).
