ProcessLock

Ensures that multiple processes cannot be run concurrently, using redis.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'with_process_lock'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install process_lock

Usage

  ProcessLock::WithProcessLock.execute('unique_key_for_your_process') do
    # The code to run in the process
    do_stuff
  end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
