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

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

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 there, I need a Worker Class to be Singleton-like, that means there must be at maximum one Instance at a time.

for those who didn''t read it somewhere else: the bug being adresseb by 1.1.5was not completely fixed, so now theres another security update: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RidingRails/~3/10954980/rails-1-1-6-backports-and-full-disclosure anybody using engines, dont update since this update will break the plugin, more info for fixing the bug in this case also in the blog. -- Michael

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few
