[Backgroundrb-devel] Pool Size

[Chris Bruce]

I am not sure how pool size works or if it applies to the following  
situation:

I would like a pool of 10 worker processes that basically all do the  
same thing (based on args i send).  I would like to be able to pass  
args to the pool of workers and the next available one will handle  
it.  If there happens to be 10 already processing, I would like the  
request to be queued until a worker is available.

What is the best way to handle this?  The docs say do_work only gets  
called on new_worker, and that I should call delete.  But won't this  
in effect create a new process and delete the process?  How can I  
call delete when I am not sure when the process will be done?


Thanks for any insight/feedback.
