[Backgroundrb-devel] Scheduling in backgroundrb not working

[Mason Hale]

Ashwin --

The schedules go in a separate file,
/config/backgroundrb_schedules.yml, not in the main backgroundrb.yml
file.

Just copy the schedule block from your backgroundrb.yml file to a new
backgroundrb_schedules.yml file, restart backgroundrb,  and it should
work.
