  1. Hi Hemant,
    I need some help with BackgroundRb. I am running Mac OS X 1.5.3 . I hae got your latest version. I have installed BackgroundRB plugin in the correctly and got a worker class. But i can’t see anything to worker methods that i have added. I added a configuration in backgroundrb.yml. But nothing happens. Here is how my background.yml looks:

    :backgroundrb:
    :ip: 0.0.0.0
    :port: 11006

    :schedules:
    :appointment_reminder:
    :test:
    :trigger_args: “*/5 * * * * * *”

    I don’t get any errors or anything logs seems to suggest that workers get started but just nothing happens after that. Please help.

    Regards

  5. hi hemant,

    my problem here is “Daily reports through email”. How far is it applicable or efficient to use Backgroundrb in this case?
    Cron job is referred here
    http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/2006/12/how-to-email-reports-from-rails/
    I already have many cron jobs running on my machine. Does it matters if I have one more?

    I love to post here :). thanks for your help.

  6. David,

    You can use cron jobs or bdrb for generating daily reports and mails. Its really a matter of choice. with bdrb you can scheduler your job much frequently because rails environment is not loaded each time.

  8. Hi Hemant,

    Where can I found the documentation for 1.1?
    The one on the http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/manual/index.html is kind of outdated.
    MiddleMan syntax has changed quite a bit.
    Can you please please help me?

    Regards,
    Aaditi.

  9. hi Hemant,

    we are using the old (1.0.1) version of bdrb with cron scheduler. I tried to switch to the latest version for our 2.2 Rails project and I had lots of problems with things like 2.minutes and other Railsy stuff. E.g.

    can’t convert ActiveSupport::Duration into time interval

    Any advice?
