Ezra, Sorry for inundating the list. In using the autostart, repeat_every, and first_run, I noticed a behaviour I didn''t expect. I would like the job to run starting at 2am, and then every 24 hours. So I set first_run to Time.now.beginning_of_day + 2.hours, and repeat_every to 24.hours. The problem is if backgroundrb starts up at 6am (due to a code change or server bump), then the

Folks- I just commited another revision of the plugin. Nothing huge in this update but some extra features. Acl lists are now configurable in the config file. So you will want to blow away and recreate your config file again. Thanks to Georg Friedrich for this. And I applied Gunter Ladwig''s patch for singleton worker classes. These are workers that only have one instance of

Hello all, I''ve got the problem about the following simple application using autostart and repeat_every. A thread(?) is forked for processing task at first, but at sencond time two threads seem to be forked. My simple application code is... - In worker class class FooWorker < BackgrounDRb:Rails repeat_every 2.minutes first_run Time.now def do_work puts Time.now.to_s +

Hi All, I saw spurious mentions on a few blogs of a DVD being made available of RailsConf presentations. However none seemed to have a who/what/when/where attached to them, thus might just be pure speculation. Anyone know of an official source/effort being made for a DVD? Would be well keen for copy if one is to be made available.... Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part

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 -

I have a simple worker that I set up with repeat_every: class DueNoteQueuerWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat_every 1.minutes first_run Time.now def do_work(args) @logger.debug("Sending due notes. The current time is #{Time.now}") end end I want this to run every minute, all the time. The first run is fine, but it seems that subsequent runs get executed

Hello all, I am interested in using BackgrounDRb to clear out ActiveRecord based sessions. I have this working, just with a small hitch, here is the code: class ClearSessionsWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat_every 7.minutes first_run Time.now def do_work(args) Session.destroy_all(["updated_at < ?", 20.minute.ago ]) end end It''s not very complicated and

Is there something special I need to do to access session data in a worker? I''m using an AR session store. I''ve been working with Ezra''s tutorial, modifying it a little here and there to figure it out. So I changed the progress bar to a simple count-down in the worker which sends back the count to display in the view. No big deal. But if I try to access session

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

Hello Folks- I am really happy to announce the release of BackgrounDRb 0.2.0 . This is a complete rewrite and re-architecture of this codebase. I want to thank skaar for all of his hard work. I put out a call for help with the new architecture and skaar stepped up bigtime. I had already written the new scheduler and cron compatible syntax and moved to multi process architecture. But he

Hello, I'm trying to investigate and solve some postgres latency spikes that I'm seeing as a result of some behaviour in the syncer. This is with FreeBSD 8.2 (with some local modifications and backports, r231160 in particular). The system has an LSI 9261-8i RAID controller (backed by mfi(4)) and the database and WALs are on separate volumes, a RAID 6 and a RAID 1 respectively. It has

I''m getting strange data back from my worker whenever I run our rails app with more than one dispatcher under lighttpd. just to give some info on what the app does: user submits data to rails app. rails app hands off data to worker, which goes and does it''s thing, storing results in an array of response objects (the array is an attribute of the worker). the response object

Hi all, I''ve got a very obscure problem. We''re trying to get Rails to talk to Filemaker. So we''ve setup an ODBC dsn and via RubyODBC we''re talking to it. Excellent. Try it under rails and rails won''t even startup, getting bus errors anytime we require ''odbc''. Environment OSX Tiger 10.4.6 Rails 1.1.2 Ruby 1.8.4 RubyODBC 0.998 via

Hello everyone, I have another question related to a legacy schema I am working with. Do dynamic finders work with legacy schemas in general? The schema I am working with uses hungarian prefixes for column names. For example fOpen is 0 if a bug is closed and 1 if it is open (type smallint). When I try @bugs = Bug.find_all_by_fOpen(1), I get the following exception: undefined method

Hello all, we have a new setup with xen on centos5.3 I run drbd from lvm volumes to mirror data between the two servers. both servers are 1U nec rack mounts with 8GB RAM, 2x mirrored 1TB seagate satas. The one is a dual core xeon, and the other a quad-core xeon. I have a gigabit crossover link between the two with an MTU of 9000 on each end. I currently have 6 drbds mirroring across that

Is it better to start Samba using in initd, or to use the script, much like the one provided by SuSE. ?? so far I have used the script, but I don't like the fact of having to start samba manually. I would much prefer to see it run as a service. just to confirm all it really involves is starting smbd and nmbd Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

Dear mailing-list! I have Samba 2.0.6 on a Redhat 6.1 linux box. How can I make samba use the /etc/shadow file for authenticating users? Reading the archives I assumed there should be a compile-time option I should set, but I found no such option.

I guess I've been lucky. My Red Hat server I built in 2003 finally gave up the ghost yesterday. Fifteen years with almost zero problems running 7x24. Now I'm trying to build a basic server to host my e-mail using CentOS 7, Sendmail and Dovecot. Server is running great as are Sendmail and Dovecot but Dovecot only allows connections from the CentOS 127.0.0.1. I can telnet localhost pop3

I''m just starting out with BackgrounDRB and I''m pretty excited. I know there''s some development going on, but would patches against the released code be welcome? Nothing profound, just some documentation errors. Now for the real reason I''m writing. I''m testing the new(ish) repeat_every code and it appears to be having a problem. I''ve got a

If you''re in a timezone with an abbreviation that map to more than one timezone (eg, CST), first_run may not work as you expect it to. Witness: $ irb -r time irb(main):001:0> Time.now => Wed Oct 04 20:37:24 CST 2006 irb(main):002:0> Time.parse(Time.now.to_s) => Thu Oct 05 10:37:30 CST 2006 Notice the 14 extra hours... Time.parse converted the time thinking CST meant -06:00
