The last message in a recent thread [1] on the daemon-kit group might be exactly what you are looking for. Somehow I want to agree with you on not using whenever, I've always had issues with cron as a non-root user. 1 - http://groups.google.com/group/daemon-kit/browse_thread/thread/8afbc64b5a7ba256 @Gary

Daemon-kit hasn’t really been tested with Rails, but I know some people are in fact using it like that. The last message in a recent thread [1] on the daemon-kit group might be exactly what you are looking for. Somehow I want to agree with you on not using whenever, I’ve always had issues with cron as a non-root user.

Please post if you have any ideas for scheduling jobs in Rails without requiring cron to be on the system (as Whenever does). Thanks! Nevermind. Looks like Railscron is old and buggy.

Weaver Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:06:57 +0000 http://www.opensourcery.co.za/?p=183#comment-535 Here is what I did to install: sudo gem install rubigen sudo gem install eventmachine sudo gem install kennethkalmer-daemon-kit --source http://gems.github.com sudo gem install rufus-scheduler daemon_kit mycrond -i cron (actually I used jruby -S gem install ..., but same thing.) Unfortunately, I needed something to run in the background for Rails. I could set it up in cron, but would like it self-contained within the Rails app. Any suggestions? Here is what I did to install:

sudo gem install rubigen
sudo gem install eventmachine
sudo gem install kennethkalmer-daemon-kit –source http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install rufus-scheduler
daemon_kit mycrond -i cron

(actually I used jruby -S gem install …, but same thing.)
