font-family:Georgia'>In the process of integrating BackgrounDRb into my company’s
CRM application for our web site, I have run against two roadblocks in
configuration that required my actually modifying the BackgrounDRb source code
to work around:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=2 face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia'>The MasterProxy class
overrides the RAILS_ENV settings with the settings in the
backgroundrb.yml, or sets the environment to “development” if
not set. This makes it impossible to allow the server to run in multiple
configuration environments (e.g. staging and production, for example). In
my opinion, it would be best to have MasterProxy rely solely on the current
setting of RAILS_ENV, and never override it under any circumstances.<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><font size=2 face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia'>DebugMaster supports only logging
options: log to files with hard-coded names, or log to stdout. In our
clustered production environment, we use SyslogLogger to send all logging
messages to a remote server, in order to maintain logs for all our servers
in one place. There appears to be no way to do this in BackgrounDRb
without modifying the behavior of DebugMaster.<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
