Hi, it would be nice to be able to specify workers as singletons. By this I mean that every call to the new_worker method returns the same instance of said worker. This can be done transparently either by adding a new argument to new_worker (something like :singleton => true) or adding a new method, like I did in my installation of BackgrounDrb: def get_worker_by_class(klass)

I just installed backgroundrb on our server. When tryin to start via script/backgroundrb i get a no method error. ./script/backgroundrb start /home/tom/ralf_dev/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/backgroundrb_server.rb:34:in `format_message'': undefined method `strftime'' for "2006-12-04T15:53: 23.419225 ":String (NoMethodError) from

Hey Guys, In the readme for Backgroundrb it says that windows support has been depcreated for this version, but then it goes on to mention how to use it in Windows. So I''m not sure if it should be running on windows or not, so I''ll ask anyway. Also, I''m new to ruby and I''m also new to server administration, so I apologize if my questions are pretty

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

Everything works fine on my development box (Ubuntu 7.10, Ruby 1.8.6) but on my server (Fedora Core 6, Ruby 1.8.5) when I run script/backgroundrb start, the process fails to start. This is with Rails 2.0.2 frozen in the app, and I have the most recent version of the plugin (r297). Is Ruby 1.8.6 a requirement for backgroundrb now? I can''t figure any other reason it would fail...

Hello there, I need a Worker Class to be Singleton-like, that means there must be at maximum one Instance at a time. When a new Request is made to create another worker of this type, it should return and wait for the other instance to be destroyed. what i need to do: i have a worker who needs to do sth with java and openoffice, and it seems when i have more tha one worker simultaneously,

Hello, i need to have some jobs scheduled in the background and executed at specific times. I wanted to make a worker who does that - and it works a little bit - but i had an enlightment... why not make bgdrb itself play that role? i mean, the MiddleMan has already everything needed! a timer thread, currently used only for deleting old workers and the workers itself. since im not familiar with

Hi all, BackgrounDrb was exactly what I needed for a project I''m working on at work. Everyone''s really impressed, and now it''s time to put the system into production. My question is, how do I avoid having to manually run the startup and shutdown scripts (or the rake tasks) for backgroundrb? I tried putting a system "rake backgroundrb:start" in my

I have a job that I am starting from a Rails controller in production mode using MiddleMan: MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :import_ccg_category_worker, :args => { :category_id => @category.id, :remote_category_id => params[:remote_category_id], :description => "Importing CCG products for #{@ category.name}" }) Both of the category ID variables are just basic integers.

Hello, I am trying to make DRb calls to a external server from a backgrounDRb worker, but I''m getting always the next exception when I make the remote call. > ERROR: > drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.11175/experimenter_worker_3e899de945f0803a82cd257cfac316d0_0_0.0738904928422051 > - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - >

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

Hi Folks, I want to set up backgroundrb on my laptop to do some tests.

I''m struggling to keep backgroundrb v2 running for more than 24 hours. It appears to be running fine for a while, then tries to fire off a worker (exactly the same worker it''s been running for the past few hours), and it suddenly dies. I haven''t found any pattern for the cause of this. In backgroundrb_server.log, the final entry is this : 20070206-10:41:45

Hi, i had a little problem a few minutes ago. somehow the backgroundrb process got mad and consumed all the cpu power available, i think it got an endless loop. i dont know why, no exceptions were thrown. could this be an issue of bgdrb or ruby or rails (as i load the rails environment) -- Michael Siebert <info at siebert-wd.de> www.stellar-legends.de - Weltraum-Browsergame im

Hi Folks, I''ve got a tiny little problem using MySQL-backed ActiveRecord in my worker class. Sometimes it just blocks infinitely when I try to access it. I don''t know whether it is in AR itself or in the SQL driver. It just stops doing anything, logging nothing, no exceptions are raised. I don''t know if it matters that I call the worker''s methods via
