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

I''ve now got 5 processes auto started. But I when I query the MiddleMan for their keys (in script/console), it doesn''t find them. Looking at the start script, it looks like it might be creating a new MiddleMan object for each autostart BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new.new_worker(:class => entry[''class''], Even changing it to

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, I''m trying to create a worker to send a mail to all the users in my db. Right now I''m doing the tests, this is the code in my worker (Masivo is the ActionMailer subclass): def do_work(args) @progress = 0 @logger.info("MAILER: starting job") records = Record.find(:all) total = records.size records.each_with_index do |record, idx|

Im trying to send mails from a backgroundrb worker and it seems like ActionView cant find my template. same code works as a rake task. here my worker: class StatusMailWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails repeat 1.minutes # <-- hehe! def do_work(args) [...blah...] NotificationMailer.create_daily_report(users, rep, items) end end end its throwing the following error: No

Hello there! I made a little patch for scripts/backgroundrb/start to make detach work on win32! It needs win32-process to work (it''s a lib from the Win32 Utils project on rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/). To install it, just issue a "gem install win32-process --include-dependencies". If the script detects the :detach option (and a win32 platform), it tries

I am new to this list and relatively new to the backgroundrb plugin,. So first i will say hello to everybody here, especially to Ezra Zygmuntowicz! I played a little bit with a dummy worker and so far everything worked well. But now i want to do real work in a worker but now i get that error[1]. It looks like that the constants configured in environment* configs are not available to the worker

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,

if CONFIG[''load_rails''] ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency = true ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(YAML.load(ERB.new(IO.read ("#{RAILS_ROOT}/#{CONFIG[''database_yml'']}")).result)[CONFIG[''environment'']]) end if i read the code right, this option doesnt really load rails. wouldnt it be better (for those who rely on the

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

He folks- First off thanks to everyone for helping to make this plugin work better for all of us. Its nice to have a bunch of people testing and adding features. I would like to ask for people to post some examples workers. I would really like to get a few more workers to distribute with the plugin. Especially ones that a lot of people seem to need like Email workers. So if you are

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

Hello all, Can anyone recommend any free(ish) Ruby photo album components? Preferably something with a user structure built in. Cheers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I don''t know whether this is a bug or feature, and I don''t know whether this belongs to Gmailer (http://rubyforge.org/projects/gmailutils) in specific or Rails/Ruby in general. I have an instance method in an ActiveRecord model, that upon a web request using WEBrick, spawns off a thread, in which it invokes Gmailer to perform some processing. What fails is that simply

Hi, I am running ruby 1.8.4 rails 1.1 on Mac OSx and I am getting the following error installing the plugin. Any ideas ?

Hi to all. I''m a newbye, and this is my first contact with list. I have installed ruby and rails. My ruby local home page works, but development.log tell me "Permission denied - /var/www/html/rubyapp/../config/../tmp/sessions//ruby_sess.e2677250ed380e4c " what''s happen?

I''m trying to run some non-ruby code in my rails app and i''m not sure how to do this. The code i have would take a really long time to port to ruby and so i''d rather run it as is (its php). What i would like to have happen is that the code can be invoked as an ajax call. And just return some data in JSON. I keep running into a routing failure by actioncontroller and

Hi railers, What do you do when you must use a plugin in a rails app that is under subversion? I think that an approach is simply install a version of the plugin, and once all the test pass, commit the plugin itself to the repository, inside the /vendor/ of the app. If a new version of the plugin is released, your app is still using the working one (although the new version could work too).

Folks- I just pushed out a new release last night. THis is a bug fix release as well as some new features that have come up that people need. I made the MiddleMan class include Singleton so it is now a true singleton. What this means is that the autostart stuff now works correctly because you can always get the same MiddleMan instance from anywhere within the drb server including your
