Your post was really helpful. I used OpenWFEru gem for my requirement. But I have made it as a stand-alone ruby code. But I want it to run with my rails application. When I put the rb file in config/initializers, the server is not getting started because of this scheduler. Am I doing anything wrong? Or is there any other good way to achieve this? Thanks.

What I was looking for more in that question was where to put the .rb file that I write. I have since found that I should put it into the config/initializers folder and it works great. Thanks again for your help. Great, thanks. What I was looking for more in that question was where to put the .rb file that I write.

Take a look at one of the examples in my original post. Unlike cron, or other utilities, it's not a command line utility.

I was originally performing update tasks manually with custom rake tasks, but I'd like to schedule them. The task is to update a few database tables from parsed text files that change daily. Thanks for the write-up. It has already answered a lot of questions for this beginner.
