[Backgroundrb-devel] delete_worker doesn't kill the thread?

[Charles Brian Quinn]

Couldn't you do something like this:

# in your initalize worker put:
@running = true

in your main work method:

while @running
  @logger << "logging #{Time.now}"
  sleep 2
end

add a method:

def stop
  @running = false
end


Now before deleting the worker, just call stop.  I am curious about
the behavior you're seeing, though.
