dreamhost + backgroundrb ?

Hey all,

I've decided that my rails app needs backgroundrb to handle some background processing here and there.. i have hosting with dreamhost and i'm starting to realize that it may be a problem getting my app to work properly on there when i add backgroundrb.. anybody have any experience with this? is there any shared hosting that can handle it ?? thanks a bunch

Howdy, If you can't get it to work, I've successfully used cron and it's Rubyfied friends at DreamHost. You could do periodic processing that way at least.

Haven't tried BDRb there yet, but I can't see why it would be a terrible problem so long as you have a cron job or something like that to make sure the processes are restarted when they're inevitably killed and your data stays sane (DH has a weird problem with killing processes at random...sometimes I can't even check Rails out from SVN before it kills it other times I can run a process in excess of 5 minutes without a problem).
