RailsCronLogger
A logger for rails cron jobs that want output that is:
- Formatted in the same way as Rails.logger
- At the same log level as Rails.logger
- Sent to stdout, except in test mode
Example usage
logger = RailsCronLogger::Logger.new
logger.info "info"
logger.debug "debug"
Note on flushing
You probably also want to set $stdout.sync = true in your crontab.
See http://coderrr.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/automatically-flushing-redirected-or-piped-stdout/
Example:
1 * * * * rails runner '$stdout.sync = true; <your code here>'
Setting $stdout.sync = true in this gem seems a bit overreaching, but for convenience if you pass :sync => true to Logger.new then rails-cron-logger will perform this step for you.
Example:
logger = RailsCronLogger::Logger.new(:sync => true)
