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

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

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 there! I just have discovered this wonderful plugin a few days ago and I uploaded a little test to my Dreamhost account. I simply got a worker that resizes an image that the user uploads. So this morning I launched the BackgrounDRb server on my account with the rake task and began to upload some test images. The server daemon has been executing until a few minutes ago, I suppose because of

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

Hi, I have my rails sites tricked out with capistrano, and backgroundrb, so I can easily use the ant tasks, but I would like to be able to start and stop backgroundrb from within rails. I have a few reasons for this: 1. Using fastcgi, backgroundrb would start under the apache user and the same mod_security context as apache, instead of my developer account which has many more privileges. 2.

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

I have the next including files structure : - controller fileaA.rb including line (#8): require "fileB"... - /lib/fileB.rb with main header: load ''backgroundrb/worker.rb'' load ''backgroundrb/ worker_rails.rb'' class FileB <

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

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me. I installed the plugin with: ruby script\plugin install svn:\\rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb It added a bunch of files,

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:

What are people are doing when they need to deploy a new code base? You can''t just restart backgroundrb, because then you lose any long-running backgroundrb processes. But then you''d conceivably have to wait several hours for all your procs to complete before pushing out the new code base. I was originally thinking that during code deploys, we''d start up a second
