Hi all,<br><br>I want to execute certain ruby script periodically in<br>my rails application running on windows platform.<br>I wanted to try out backgroundrb, but it seems that<br>the support for Windows is deprecated with release
<br>0.2.0 of BackgrounDRb.<br>The latest release is 0.2.1 & the plugin still doesnt<br>support windows platform. Can anyone throw more light<br>on this?<br><br>Also, can anyone suggest any alternative approach to<br>run ruby script periodically in rails application on
<br>windows platform?<br><br>Thanks in advance!<br>---------------------------------<br>With Best Regards,<br>Medha.<br><br><br><br>____________________________________________________________________________________<br>Do you Yahoo!?
