Running background jobs

How are most of you running background jobs in Rails?

I was reading this and considering going with script/runner but wanted to do an informal poll here:     http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToRunBackgroundJobsInRails

Thanks in advance.

I'd prefer a queue based messaging solution to decouple the senders from the receiving/processing side. It's simple and scales well.
