Connection to backgroundrb is lost when exiting action method
Hey.
I have a very annoying problem, and was wondering what is wrong.
Suppose I have backgroundrb running, and then I have an action in some
controller. In the action I define a worker. When leaving the action,
suddenly the connection to backgroundrb is lost:
DRb URI: druby://localhost:22222
Pid: 3976
Autostart...
done
druby://localhost:42531 - #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor -

nil object / slave server problem
I''m just getting started wtih backgroundrb, and unfortunately hit a
snag right away... I''m running the latest releases of rails,
backgroundrb, slave and daemons.
I created a simple worker class, using the generator, which currently
does nothing but print the arguments that are passed to do_work. I''m
running backgroundrb using ''./script/backgroundrb

Trouble using backgroundrb
Hi all,
I''m a newbie to backgroundrb and am having trouble integrating it into
my rails-app. I''m using namespaces to differentiate between the parts of
my app.
When I want to create a new worker, it seems that it cannot find the
worker object. Here''s my code:

BackgrounDRb release 1.0 available now
Hi Folks,
I am glad to announce 1.0 release of BackgrounDRb.
This would be a major release since 0.2 release of BackgrounDRb.
Here is a brief summary of changes:
- BackgrounDRb is DRb no longer. It makes use of EventDriven network
programming library packet ( http://packet.googlecode.com ).
- Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash
corruption issues are totally

Need help with singleton worker
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

BackgrounDRb background task runner and Application Wide Context Store
Friends-
I''m happy to annouce the first alpa release of BackgrounDRb. This is
a small framework for managing long running background tasks that
allows for ajax progress bars and more. It also serves as an
Application wide cache and context store for when you need something
like sessions but shared between users and multiple backend processes
like fcgi''s or mongrels.

backgroundrb scheduler
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

periodic scheduling
I''ve been using backgroundrb since back in March 2007 or so. It''s
been working mostly OK for me, but since the old version doesn''t seem
to work out of the box with rails 2.0 for me, I decided to test out
the latest version.
So, I''m looking at the scheduling, and trying to figure out the best
option for what I want to do. What I have is a set of workers that

BackgrounDRb version 1.0RC1 available now
Hi Folks,
BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be
used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks.
Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to
move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced
from http request/response cycle.
This new release of BackgrounDRb is also modular and can be used

Creating workers from workers?
Since MiddleMan is an uninitialized constant in a worker how do you
create new workers inside a worker?
Thank You,

Server dying with perpetual "Connection reset by peer"
I''m at a loss to explain a very strange error I''m getting.
This seems to happen on our production system where we have a
backgroundrb server sharing a host with a Rails app running on
Mongrel. The first one or two, occasionally three, calls to a worker
(direct MiddleMan calls from Rails, not scheduled) succeed, but
afterwards, the server fails to initialize new workers.

failed to find slave socket - (RuntimeError)
Hi everyone,
I''ve a class that try to spawn two workers, every 5 seconds.
The code is something like:
while true do
MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :researches_worker,:job_key
=> :researches)
MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :products_worker,:job_key => :products)
sleep(5)
end
I''m using ":job_key", so if a worker hasn''t already ended its work

BackgrounDRb New release.
Howdy Folks-
I''m happy to announce a new release of BackgrounDRb! I have added
quite a few new features and included some nice patches from folks on
the list.
$ script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb
All of the code now stays within the plugin and the start and stop
scripts are now just stubs. This makes it easier to tweak or figure
out how it works.

Backgroundrb with Load Balancing Rails engines
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).

Drb Connection error on multiple dispatch.fcgi ''s

I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end

However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues
that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem

Behaviour of pool_size setting
Hi,
I have backgroundrb running to decouple the execution of massive
business logic from an ActionWebservice request. The service is designed
to take some configuration parameters and fire a lot of background
workers to do the requested work. Due to performance reasons I want to
limit the number of workers to a maximum number of 30. But when I start
a configuration that requires for example
