Hi, I was trying to schedule a worker to run during the midnight hour like this: :schedules: :collector: :process_something: :trigger_args: 30 * 0 * * 2,3,4,5,6 When I try to start backgroundrb, the "collector" worker failed to start up and I find this in backgroundrb_server.log: /home/mengkuan/apps/testrailsapp/current/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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. my background.yml: > --- > :backgroundrb: > :port: 11006 > :ip: 0.0.0.0 > --- > :schedules: > :server_worker: > :update: > :trigger_args: 1 *

I''m running the latest backgroundrb mainly for scheduled tasks support. As per the documentation I created the backgroundrb_schedules.yml with the following: simple_label: :class: :document_sorter_worker :worker_method: :do_work :job: :bleh :trigger_args: :start: <%= Time.now + 5.seconds %> :end: <%= Time.now + 10.minutes :repeat_interval: 1.minute Under

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 * * * * * :job_key:

I need to run the same worker''s method twice per day with different arguments. Unfortunately, only the second entry in the schedule is firing. I created an experimental worker to verify this: Worker: class ExperimentWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :experiment_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time

I''m running a fresh checkout of release 1.0.1 ... It''s now 11:32 am local time on January 31. I''ve configured a single worker for a test. If I use the following schedule in my background.yaml file: :schedules: :debugger_worker: :ping: :trigger_args: 0 35 11 * * * * Backgroundrb starts up without error. If I make the following

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 #

when working with the scheduler i found that using :trigger_args: 0 * * * * * * in config/backgroundrb_schedules.yml the worker gets only called once. :trigger_args: "0 * * * * * *" works as expected. Maybe this should be changed in the README ? regards tom -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi all, I just read Ezra''s article on BackgroundRb and decided to use it one of my projects. I installed the plugin into my rails project using script/plugin and then ran rake backgroundrb:setup to copy the yml scripts. Now my backgroundrb.yml looks like ======= --- port: "22222" timer_sleep: 60 load_rails: true environment: development host: localhost database_yml:

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, 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. --Backgroundrb_schedules.yml-- city_updater: :class: :city_updater_worker

Hi I thought this should suspend the task by 1 minute, but it starts immediately: MiddleMan.ask_work( :worker => :bar_worker, :worker_method => :test_method, :trigger_args => { :start => (Time.now + 1.minute)}) Is the start argument not allowed in the new backgroundrb (mine is at rev HEAD (=314))? What can I do about this? I really need to suspend starting the task as I want

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

I''m a big "fan" of BackgroundRB ... 1.0 came along just when my project needed it, and I''ve been very happy. Thanks much for this very helpful piece of software. My question: I have a worker scheduled cron-style as follows: :notification_worker: :notify: :trigger_args: 0 0 8 * * 1,3,5 * I.e., I want to run this particular worker method at 8:00a

I had a worker scheduled to run every minute with backgroundrb_schedules.yml: ebay_runner: :class: :ebay_auction_worker :job_key: :ebay_auction_runner :trigger_type: :cron_trigger :trigger_args: 0 * * * * * * This worker posts an auction to eBay from a queue of auctions every minute. I was having a problem where the worker would run ok the first time, but never any subsequent minutes

Hello Folks- I am really happy to announce the release of BackgrounDRb 0.2.0 . This is a complete rewrite and re-architecture of this codebase. I want to thank skaar for all of his hard work. I put out a call for help with the new architecture and skaar stepped up bigtime. I had already written the new scheduler and cron compatible syntax and moved to multi process architecture. But he

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.

We have a fairly expensive task that we''d rather not schedule too many instances of in parallel. Couldn''t get pool_size to limit the amount of workers, and I figure that''s hardly optimal anyway, so would like to have the work queued up for a single named worker instead, running as soon as possible. Using MiddleMan.schedule_worker() with :job_key does start off a

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
