Hi,

What sort of tasks do you intend to do? Database/ file system/ operating system oriented, appropriate approach can be decided depending on these

The task is building source code with gcc.

take a look at the earlier mentioned backgrounDRb: http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/

[quote] BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks. Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced from http request/response cycle. [/quote]
