I was needing a way to generate thumbnails (using PHP5) for an image management script and had a problem where my host has multiple versions of PHP installed (4 and 5), with PHP4 set as default. This meant that any calls to php from the CLI would run PHP4. I've come up with the following as what I hope to be a cross platform solution. I'...
Hello, I have a PHP script launched from a command-line (aka CLI mode, no webserver involved). In this script I launch a command that will run from some time, usually exiting after a couple minutes. But at times, this command will run for hours because of various issues, and the best I can do is kill it and wait for a while before laun...

Here's my simple ideal case scenario for when I'd like delayed job to run: When the first application server (whether through mongrel or passenger) starts, it'll start my delayed job workers.

What I'd like to do is something along the lines of: `/path/to/daemon1 &` `/path/to/daemon2 &` `/path/to/daemon3 &` However, that blocks on the fi...
Hi there, We have to use delayed_job (or some other background-job processor) to run jobs in the background, but we're not allowed to change the boot scripts/boot-levels on the server. This means that the daemon is not guaranteed to remain available if the provider restarts the server (since the daemon would have been started by a capis...
I know it might be simple to write some polling JS that asks the Rails application if it has completed a background job. But I wonder if anyone has already packaged up this functionality as a plugin. Basically, I have a few delayed_jobs running, and am looking for a plugin that will poll the server for completion of a particular job, th...
