I usually do something pretty simple: I create a class in the vendor
directory, and then setup a cron job to run script\runner with that
file. For example:
I have a file called session_cleaner.rb in \vendor like this:
class SessionCleaner
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.destroy_all( ['updated_at
< ?', 240.minutes.ago] )
end
Then I have a cron job that runs:
ruby script\runner SessionCleaner -e production
I've also used this method for nightly emails to process new user
signups, etc.
