Working With Rails

I’m not familiar with Rufus:Scheduler. Is it possible for you to set up a cronjob? If yes, I’d suggest setting up a cronjob according to your needs (i.e. running every 10 minutes) that uses curl, wget or whatever to open the URL.

I should probably mention, though, that you shouldn’t have require statements inside method definitions. Put them at the start of the file like this:

require 'rufus/scheduler'

class MyClass < ApplicationController
  def schedule
    # ... whatever
  end
end

PS: pre tags might make your code more readable (like mine). Just use <.pre>code</.pre> (without the periods) around your code.

Hi Clemens, How i setup cronjob. Is there any Particular gem for this. Would i do it using rufus-scheduler or else to do it any other way. please guide me in this regard. Note:I am working on windows environment.(win-xp)

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

Try scheduling it using windows scheduler

Go to control panel -> double click on Scheduled Tasks icon

Then click on Add scheduled Task

Here you can provide the path of the script you want to run and also schedule it to run according to your requirement.

Please repost your code again, formatted properly.

I’ve never used Rufus::Scheduler but the docs indicate that it can call a method periodically. Look at http://rufus.rubyforge.org/rufus-scheduler/classes/Rufus/Scheduler.html, heading “Cron up to the second”.

No need to browse to a URL of your app periodically when you can just execute the code directly.

Now it is solved. i just call the http object from another method inside the schedule_every “10s” do *(htttp.get(url)) end .and it works fine.
