I have a worker which wants to delete itself after it finishes its work- how can it do that? Best Regards, Danny Burkes

Hi- I''m technical lead at Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), a chatroom-based social networking site. We''ve currently got several million user utterances stored in MySQL, and we''re looking to build a local search functionality. I''ve played around with aaf and I really like it, but I have some questions. 1. Is anyone out there using aaf to index a corpus of this

Hello everyone- We recently added full archives search to Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), and we used Ferret/AAF to do it. I''ve written a blog post with some details of that integration, and I thought some of you might be interested. See http://blog.lingr.com/2007/05/we_heart_ferret.html. I''m grateful to the authors of Ferret and AAF, as well as to all the people in this forum

Hi folks, I took a break from Mongrel today and instead whipped up an Atom feed generator for my site. People who love or utterly hate my essays will lover or utterly hate to subscribe to it. http://www.zedshaw.com/feed.atom Let me know if it isn''t working well in your favorite feed reader. -- Zed A.

Hello everyone- I am considering using Mongrel and I have read this list pretty extensively. I know that the Apache/mod_proxy_balancer/mongrel approach is the preferred one right now, with Apache serving the static content via mod_rewrite and such. However, in my hardware arsenal, I already have an old and trusty LocalDirector, which I would be inclined to at least try first as a

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).

Hello, I have model which has a property named "name", I want to append a number to the end of the name when there is similar name in db. name, name1, name2... Is there a ready to use method in ruby and/or rails for doing so? Thanks in advance, - Dunnil

Hey there bdrb''ers! I have been so very busy with http://engineyard.com that I have not had time to complete the new release of backgroundrb. But I have done substantial work towards it. It is basically an entirely new beast with a complete rethinking of how it works. I have put up a zip file of the new code base in the hopes that some folks will be able to start playing with

Hi Folks, I was playing with Lingr today (http://www.lingr.com) and kind of like it, so I thought I''d setup a little room and see how it works for answering Mongrel questions. http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 I''ll be hanging there for a while and we''ll see how it works out. If it works well, and doesn''t turn into a nastier-than-IRC situation then I may

Hi, I''ve been having some issues integrating bdrb on a cruisecontrolrb server It''s related to the way we stop the bdrb server. The thing is, right now when we stop the process we are killing the parent of the group of the process. This is ok if you''re running script/backgroundrb stop directly from the console, but if I''m running this from another process,

Hi, New BackgrounDrb user struggling for a couple of days to get things up an going. System: Ruby 1.8.6 Packet 0.1.5 chronic 0.2.3 BackgrounDrb 1.0.3 (downloaded 4/02/08 and 4/03/08) I installed the packet and chronic gems as per instructions. I used git to download BDrb as per instructions and ran the rake setup script. When I run script/backgroundrb from my rails app main directory, I get

Hi there, In the latest releases bdrb attempts to load all models during startup routine. We have models that depend on the particular RUBY_PLATFORM but they live in the same models directory. It seems that the inability to load them stops bdrb. Could the models requiring / loading be done one demand, the same as Rails does? thanks, emil

Hello all, I get this intermittent error saying OpenURI::HTTPError. At the bottom of the email is what is reported in my backgroundrb_server_<port>.log file. The process_netflix_reviews method is parsing (in the background) Netflix''s RSS feeds. This error also pretty much brings down the BDRb process and to recover, I am forced to do a ./script/backgroundrb stop

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.

It''s time again for your monthly cgi.rb DOS vulnerability. This latest vulnerability is different from the one that cgi_multipart_eof_fix.gem fixed. This one is related to the boundary taken from the web client being used incorrectly. You can read about the vulnerability: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2006/12/04/another-dos-vulnerability-in-cgi-library The applicable PATCH is

I''m spending today writing documentation. I''ll be updating quite a few documents, doing some edits, and adding some user contributed docs. If anyone has documentation suggestions, FAQ questions they''d like included, or things they think are old and stale, then let me know. Swing by the Lingr room: http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 And drop me a line if you want

I use BDRb to process RSS feeds for users on my site (http://feedflix.com). I have a batch job that queries the DB for records that haven''t been updated in the last so many hours and kicks off a background job for each of them. If N records are returned by the DB, N background jobs gets queued and get done serially. As long as N is 255 or under, everything works like a charm.

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 was using an older version of backgroundrb and today I started to play with the most recent release. First up, I''d like to say, thanks so much for this library and thanks for making it more stable. From the looks of things, I think it''s going to be easier to use now than it was several months ago when I first started using it. I''d like to make sure I''m using
