Hi everyone...
OK, I've had a look around and I couldn't find a good answer to this so here goes...
I am creating an application that needs to fire off actions based on arbitrary time and date rather than HTTP requests.
I've had a look at BackgroundRb but i'm not having much success in getting it working in the production environment (it seems to fire off workers more than once). Besides that, the documentation says it's not ready for deployment in the real world...
I've also looked at Cron - and although that seems to be OK, I really need to be able to fire off notifications right down to a 10 second window and I'm not confident that my Rails app won't fall over if I set up a cron job to run every 10 seconds.
Is there something in the Rails world that provides this functionality?
Any help appreciated...
Andrew
