similar to: Cleaning up a worker that is about to be killed.

Hi, I get the following error from my client program when I try to call delete after my worker is completed: goten at goten-server:~/projects/svn_working/m29svn_back/app$ ruby backup_app.rb {:done=>true, :txt=>["piping to tmp", "piping done", "getting youngest", "youngest got", "destfile

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 -

(Sorry my last email had the wrong subject) Hi, I''ve just installed background rb 0.2.1. When I try start a worker in my application controller I receive the following error: wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) - (ArgumentError) /home/chris/projects/call_manager/trunk/call_manager_app/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/backgroundrb/middleman.rb:211:in `initialize''

for some strange reason this error occours when i create one worker from another BUT only when i derive worker class from Worker::Base instead or Worker::RailsBase - when change it back it works fine, child worker can have empty do_work, but this error still ocours Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF) /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/slave-1.2.0/lib/slave.rb:214:in `for_fd''

Hello everyone, I''m stuck with this very obscure error whenever I try to create a new worker. My worker is a subclass of BackgrounDRb::Worker::RailsBase, and if you follow the stack trace below, you can tell that the error occurs while trying to load Rails. There is no problem starting up the server, by the way. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I didn''t have

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 all, We''re currently running version .1.x in our environment. We would like to move to .2.x to take advantage of some of the improvements made running in a multi-process environment. We deploy to a linux environment but develop locally in Windows. I''m aware that a number of people have reported the ability to run .2.x of backgroundrb inside cygwin, and for the most part,

Hello, We are working on a centralized report generating project, which calls for data processing on different servers and then centralizes the reports into a single project. What we would like to do is have a Monitor BackgrounDRb worker call another BackgrounDRb worker to process data on a different server, and then have our Monitor Worker collect the data and then store it according to our

got a wierd problem maybe someone can help with. whenever i try to pass an array or AR objects to my worker, i end up with a DRb object in the worker...here''s an example class SearchWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :resources def do_work(resources) logger.info resources.inspect end end class SearchController < ApplicationController def start_search

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. I

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 list, I''m having some issues getting backgroundrb to play nice with more than one mongrel. When I run my app on a single mongrel instance it works fine. I have two different problems show up in my backgrounrb_server.log. The top of the backtrace is shown here: 20070130-12:03:03 (92473) failed to find slave socket - (RuntimeError) 20070130-12:03:03 (92473)

Hey, I have scheduled script that is not working very well. It will only run once or twice before I have to restart the server to get it running again. If I try to the worker manually after it has stopped exceuting the schedule I get this in the server log: 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) Connection reset by peer - (DRb::DRbConnError) 20070522-07:33:36 (5030) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566:in

Hi, I have an application that receives XML files, and then hands each one off to a backgroundrb worker to parse and store the info. Everything was working, until I needed to support a larger character set. So I added the following to the top of my XML files: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Adding this worked fine when I tested it without using

Hi, I''m rather new to backgrounDRb and DRb itself. I tried to run backgrounDRb on my shared hosting site at Railsplayground.com using rake backgroundrb:start and got this error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:862:in `initialize'': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:862:in `open_server'' from

Hello - Can anyone explain why I get the stack trace in background_server.log when I try to start my first worker? I don''t get this on subsequent workers, only the first one. I should note, the method I am using to start backgroundrb is documented in the archives, and is likely the root of this problem. Suggestions about how to "fix" or avoid this issue are appreciated.

This has been asked before, never well attended perhaps. Any thoughts on testing your workers? Current implementation is broken. An empty test case like this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib/workers/market_summary_worker" require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/lib/backgroundrb.rb" require

Since MiddleMan is an uninitialized constant in a worker how do you create new workers inside a worker?

I''m using backgroundrb for session management and deletion of visitor-entered information when a session is abandoned. The visitor can either click a button to end their session and remove their data, or backgroundrb will do it for them after 5 minutes of inactivity. Everything''s working fine, I think. If the visitor explicitly logs out, then when the worker checks for their
