Hi guys,

I am trying to create a scheduling algorithm which will run in every 15 mins fetch all the feeds from TechCrunch and store it in my Database.

I was trying to implement this with rufus-scheduler but what's happening is on 15th minute if server gets another request it will terminate the scheduling script and once the script is terminated it will never run on its time...

I have couple of more options on this like backgroundrb, Cronjob, background etc and I tried to implement those but not getting success with anyone of this.

I want my scheduling script to run independently, so that I won't face this termination kind of problem

let me show you some of my code that I have done with rufus-scheduler.

require 'rubygems' require 'rufus/scheduler'

module SchedulerSystem require 'rss/2.0' require 'open-uri'

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new

scheduler.every("15m") do

feed_url = "#{RSS_FEED}"
count = 30.to_i
puts("Rss Reader")
open(feed_url) do |http|
  response = http.read
  result = RSS::Parser.parse(response, false)
  puts("Reed Title: #{result.channel.title}")
  result.items.each_with_index do |item, i|
    puts("#{i+1}. '#{item.link}' and title is: '#{item.title}'") if i< count
  end
end

end end

Please let me know how this can be achieved.. I am using windows machine..

Thanks in Advance Regards Puneet
