rails periodic task

Question

I have a ruby on rails app in which I\'m trying to find a way to run some code every few seconds.

I\'ve found lots of info and ideas using cron, or cron-like implementat

Answer 1

I'd suggest the whenever gem https://github.com/javan/whenever

It allows you to specify a schedule like:

every 15.minutes do
  MyClass.do_stuff
end

There's no scheduling cron jobs or monkeying with external services.
