similar to: script/console & script/runner

I''m using a runner script to try and send batch email update, however I get the impression that the runner is not operating in production mode and as a result it is falling foul of the system I have in place to block emails goinc out in development in testing modes. Is there some way for me to force a runner to operate in a particular mode, or even to check the mode it is operating in?

Is there a way to call or invoke a controller method from script/console or script/runner? The reason is that I''d like to pre-cache some of the actions on my controller. The pseudo code below is what I''d like to be able to do: class MyController < ApplicationController caches_action :test def test puts ''Hi there'' end end script/console:

I''ve read the wiki and Agile and can''t find the answer. When using script/runner I''ve gotten simple model functions similar to the -help example to run: $script/runner ''puts Vendor.find(1).name3'' where Vendor is a model. However when I try to run a function in a controller it doesn''t work: $script/runner ''puts

I have a production site that has a couple of batch jobs, I have used script/runner and cron to run these jobs. This works ok for jobs that only run once overnight during off peak. I am expiring sessions older than 30 mins every 15 mins using script/runner, but I''m concerned about the hit of script/runner loading up the whole rails environment, specifically since I only have a 256MB

All, I have a script that runs script/runner via the shebang mechanism at the top o the file, like so: #!/usr/bin/env ./script/runner This works fine in development, how would I get it to run in non-development environments? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Say I want to send out an email once a day to people who''s name is "Bob". Would I use script/runner in conjunction with cron? Or is there another cool(er) way now? Thanks, Joe

Hello, until now I allways used script/runner for running Rails cron jobs I wonder is there is any benefit (except not having any fake runner model in the models directory) to use a rake task instead in lib/tasks Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

After a fresh installation of an application, some utility scripts run with script/runner quietly aborted right after their start. No error message whatsoever, just a new shell prompt. The reason was an uninstalled dependecy, but that was difficult to determine because the load failure was not reported: % ruby script/runner ''require "foobarbaz"'' % Why

I am running ferret (0.11.4) and acts_as_ferret (stable from svn) in a rails 1.2.3 app in production using the DRb server. I recently upgraded my configuration and the method with which I start and stop the server no longer works: Here is the command I would like to use (and have used in the past) to start the aaf server: $ /Library/WebServer/rails/ccdb/current/script/runner -e production

I have cron jobs that run script/runner commands and I have two questions: 1. Should logging be working when calling the logger methods from an object within the script? 2. Should Exception Notification work when an exception occurs in the script/runner? Thanks! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Performance experts, Normally to receive e-mails is to pipe their content to script/runner individually from a mail server, sendmail or postfix. Doesn''t this configuration run like Apache 1.3 with CGI, meaning for each e-mail a boot of the entire Rails environment and thus low scalability? Is there anything working like lighttpd-fcgi or going toward its approach? DD -- Posted via

I''ve been using script/runner to add and delete files from the database in response to inotify events. This works in theory, but is too slow to keep up with a large number of events in succession; I''m suspecting that the bottleneck is that script/runner has a huge startup cost. One thing I thought of was to queue inotify events, and call script/runner once a minute to clear the

Hi, I am using ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3 for my application. I have written a bash script which I want to run in cron. If I directly run the bash file it runs. If I run it through the cron I get the following error:- "/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': no such file to load -- rails/commands/runner (LoadError) from

How are you guys handling threads or server processes that have to, for example, process the data in your application on a periodic basis? Cron jobs can do it and then run on the database. But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

I created a runner script to send a newsletter. I found this hack where you pass a controller and specify a helper: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer But in a runner script there is no controller to pass. So, it looks like it''s impossible to use url_for in the mailer template this way. Another way around the no url_for problem is to pass the
