Hi! As you might remember I''m having a problem of backgroundrb stopping calling my workers after some period of time. I tried adding logging to backgroundrb source code but it didn''t help. So, after digging through internet I''ve found several gdb tools and here''s what I''ve discovered: After attaching to a backgroundrb ruby process it turns out that it

I''ve been troubleshooting this problem for several hours now and haven''t been able to figure out what''s wrong.

The behavior I''m seeing is this. When I first start Backgroundrb, this is what

I did a ''generate worker example'', which created an

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

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, First off, thanks Ezra for showing the way with BackgrounDrb. It''s a real godsend. I wanted to add a bit of job control to the system so that I could cancel DRB processes and so on.
