taskmaster

Make your Ruby classes cron-aware!

Example

require 'taskmaster'

class FootSoldier
  include Taskmaster::Henchman

  every 10.minutes, :at => 5

  def self.run
    # do super cool and important stuff
  end
end

puts FootSoldier.cron_output # => "5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /... && script/runner -e production '\''BulkTask.run'\'''"

TODO

  • figure out different task types

  • add a Rake task to output and save crontab for all Taskmaster-including classes (fall back to whenever)

Contributing to taskmaster

  • 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.
