How to install RailsCron?
Hi,
I would like to start running a background procedure once a user logs in
to his account on the website. For this I am considering using the
RailsCron object. However, I am not able to download it. I am new to
Rails. Can someone give me the excat command I should use to get
RailsCron?
Can someone suggest a better way of running a procedure in the
background?
Thanks

RailsCron 0.1 plugin
I, like many of you, have been searching for a good way to handle
running long processes in Rails. So I rolled my own solution. I
really want feedback! (I''ve tested this on very simple hello world
examples, so don''t use it on anything production yet) .
Grab the plugin:

RailsCron 0.2 plugin
I received feedback from some of you, saying that it would be cool if
RailsCron was even easier to manage. So I implemented a graceful
start/restart inside of the plugin''s init.rb. If you don''t like it,
comment it out and send me the feedback.
Also, I finished an update to RailsCron that allows you to attach
asynchronous processing methods to your ActiveRecord models. i.e.:

RailsCron 0.2 questions
Hi all, I''ve set up RailsCron to send email reminders on a daily

Getting a MySQL deadlock when running RailsCron...
I''m using RailsCron, and it''s working out very well for me. However,
I''m having one problem right now.
I use the acts_as_background on one of my model objects. In order to
get it to add the cron job to the table, I have to make sure the model
is loaded in environment.rb.

However, I''m running 2-3 fcgi process on my server. Most of the time

RailsCron 0.2.2, please update
I updated RailsCron to fix some threading issues with ActiveRecord.
Please update if you were on 0.2.1. Also, I am still working on a
good unit test strategy (its tricky because I would think that the
tests must occur over a lot of time), but haven''t had/made time to
give it its due. If you have suggestions, please let me know.

RailsCron: error message
Hi,
I''m trying to use RailsCron but keeping getting an error when I try to run
it. I''m a beginner, so please use small words :)

Instructions required for RailsCron
Hi,
I am writing a client-server rails app. The client and server maintain
similar databases. Periodically, I would like them to synchronize their
databases. For this, in the application, once the user logs in, I want
to spawn a background process at the client that first sends the
client''s new data and then receives the server''s new data.

RailsCron: ''every'' in background
Got another question. It''s unclear to me what "every" means in the background

Q: Where to put a periodic updater?
Hello,
I need to put a script in place for updating a local database with a
remote resource periodically. It should be started alongside the
server (or inside it, whatever) and be run as long as the server
running my rails app is up an running.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?
I have thought of editing the environment.rb file and placing the call
to the script trigger there, but I wonder

RailsCron: Trigger one time
Hi Kyle,
Thanks for your help so far. Now that I have it up and running, I''ve some
behavior questions.
I want to trigger an event just one time at a future time. I''m using some of
your sample code to try this, but the behavior of some combinations of start,
every, and finish behave in some unpredictable ways.

running a background task/thread in rails?
Hi, I am new to ruby and to rails, but I like what I see so far. I have
been working on a web app in java (servlets and JSPs) that, based on a
request from the user, kicks off a thread in the background to perform a
task (puts messages in an MQSeries queue). The thread object is stored
in the session and I then allow the user to control the task from the
browser(like stop it).

RailsCron usage question
I''m yet another person looking to do some background Rails processing.

Action when database changes
Hello,
Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when
a table from database changes?
I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to
check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering
if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action
exactly when the change is made.
Best regards,

Rails like in TurboGears below?

I''m using Ruby on Rails for a multiplayer online game and I want to set
checks at regular intervals to see if users are still logged in etc.

Circular dependency issue in startup
Hi all !
I am adding observers to some model objects. One of these uses
RailsCron. RailsCron adds a class method to ActiveRecord::Base.
Unfortunately, during the initialization phase, plugins aren't yet
loaded, so I can't setup my observers in config/environment.rb, as
suggested by the comments.
What's a poor dev to do ?
At the moment, I have fallen back to this:

Running external scripts that know about a minimal Rails env
I''ve been exploring the options for running external scripts from the
Rails env.
The list I have is this:
Cron
ScriptRunner (in the script/ dir under rails projects)
RailsCron
The most likely candidate for me is the ScriptRunner because my external
script needs to know about a model which it has to save to the database
from my Rails environment, and it needs to start running as soon

Using the rails configuration outside rails
I have a ruby class that will be used sometimes from within rails, and
sometimes from without (not in the context of a running rails application).
It will reference models within the rails app, and It may be run manually,
or may be scheduled via Cron (though I may look at RailsCron as well). I''ve
seen help on the Wiki for using models outside of Rails (like this
