LoopDance

No forks. No threads. Just looped scheduler based on ‘daemon_controller` and `looper`

Easy to install

gem 'loop_dance'

Just create file ‘lib/loop_dance.rb’:

class Dancer < LoopDance::Dancer

  every 3.hours do
    User.notify_all
  end

  every 60.seconds do
    Report.checks
  end

end

LoopDance automatically starts at the rails 3 server startup.

From the application:

Dancer.start unless Dancer.running?

By the rake tasks (TODO):

rake loop_dance:start
rake loop_dance:stop
rake loop_dance:status

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
