[Backgroundrb-devel] No more kill() ?

[Chetan Sarva]

Hi,

We just upgraded to 1.0.4 (from a way old version) and noticed that  
MetaWorker::kill() no longer exists. Is there a suggested replacement  
or has the error handling idiom changed? For example, we had something  
like this:

	def do_work(args)
		kill() if not args.to_i 	
		restore = Restore.find(args)
		kill() if not restore # job not found
		[....]

The understanding being that kill() made sure that the worker process  
cleaned up properly. Should we now just return or raise an exception?  
What is the best practice here?


regards,
