Fetching RSS feeds in background

Hi all,

How would you implement an RSS feed fetcher that works in background in an RoR application? It looks like backgroundrb is the way to go, but it doesn't work in Windoze...

The versions of backgroundrb before 0.2.0 do work in Windows, but you'll not get any support for it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an archive of the older version via google. Maybe you can dig it up?

Hi,

Yeah... the fact that it is deprecated on Windows was a show stopper for me. I wanted something reliable. Seems like daemon_generator is the way to go. Any thoughts on that?
