Hello, Yesterday I posted about how to email from a worker. I decided to be a bit piggy and just inhale all of rails. Sorted. I am noticing some rather ominous behavior though. The setup: My worker takes an uploaded image as a param and passes it (via system call) to a C++ image processing engine. Take a look at these memory consumption figures for successive runs uploading the identical image

Hello, Can someone suggest the simplest way to send email from a worker? At completion, I need to send the results of it''s work to a recipient.

How can I declare a development, testing and production environment in backgroundrb.yml? Thanks in advance Rai

I just tried writing some controllers, etc. that would allow me to start and monitor background tasks running in new (Ruby) threads, with the idea that I''d eventually manage long-running indexing processes that way. I can kick off such threads OK (by using Thread.new in a routine called by a controller), but it seems like Rails gets huffy if those background tasks and the ordinary

Hello, I''ve built a powerful image manipulation engine in C++ that I want to deploy as a Web-based service for all to use. The idea is straight forward: Visit my site, submit a photo, select a visual treatment, press go, and receive the resultant photo via email. See samples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/theimageengine While the engine is rock solid, I am struggling a bit

Hello, I''m planning to deploy a hybrid 2D/3D visual fx and image manipulation engine as a server accessible via the Web. So you can send Flickr images to it for all manner of image trickery. My engine uses a little text-based language I devised that is parsed and a resultant image produced. The UI for this service collects the input image and associated params and passes the collection

Hi, I am using backgroundrb to create a automated system of typo blogs.So, users can create new typo applications using web interface and all that jazz.

so i have an after_create method on my track model that kicks off a background process that converts an mp3 to a swf. this is working fine locally on my machine, but upon moving it to my production server, i am getting the following error. I''ve only been using backgroundRB for like 48 hours, so i''m not really sure what this means or where to go. any ideas?

Howdy. I am trying to launch an external shell process from my Rails app using IO.popen. The process runs just fine when I am logged in as the user from the shell but when I run it from Rails, the task doesn''t run properly and the output is too truncated to see any errors. Anything special I need to worry about when running shell tasks this way? I have code like the following:

Hello backgroundrb-devel my name is Teeranit Ruangdet. I''m fairly new to Ruby on Rails so please bear with me here. I''m currently on a project where I need to import a whole bunch of records from spreadsheet(.csv) and save them in the database. My problem is that while I''m importing (huge file...say 5000 employees), no one else can access the website (it basically block

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

In Rolling with Ruby on Rails tutorial - http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html - I saw that to introduce a new element to my domain, I needed to define it in a table, generate a model element with a similar name and the class would autoamtically take the attributes from the table definition. Is it possible to do this in the other direction... i.e to take the class diagram

Hi Bill, I have "version 1" backgroundrb running on my development server with rails 1.2.1, with no issues (other than the left over DB connections blocking up my MySQL server, which isn''t exactly a new problem). Going to move production servers to rails 1.2.1 very soon, I''ll post back if there''s any trouble. Still would *really* like to get version
