Rufus::Scheduler::Win32::Service

A simple wrapper around the rufus-cheduler (https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler) to run it as a Windows Service (https://github.com/djberg96/win32-service).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rufus-scheduler-win32-service'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rufus-scheduler-win32-service

Usage

You want to run your rufus-scheduler tasks as a Windows service. This gem provides the boilerplate.

Use the Daemon class as the base for the class you're going to run as a service:

require 'rufus/scheduler/win32/daemon'

class MyService < RufusSchedulerWin32::Daemon
  def service_init
    # Set up everything and create your scheduled tasks here
    scheduler.every '5m' do |_job|
      logger.info 'Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated'
    end

    scheduler.join
  end
end

# Start the service
MyService.mainloop

You get access to the scheduler property to schedule your tasks and the logger property for logging.
