Running delayed_job as a windows service

问题

I am trying to get delayed_job working as a windows service.

I am so thoroughly sick of windows I can't even begin to put it into words, but I am stuck with it for now due to 3rd party dependencies.

Running rake jobs:work starts the worker in a console with no problems.

I've created an empty windows service to start and shutdown the worker using sc create DelayedJobWorker....

However, I can't get the service to start and stop the worker. I'm not sure what the best approach is - what I should be parameterising the service with / asking it to call.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

I did this by:

1. Copying srvany.exe from the Windows Resource Kit to C:\windows\system32.

2. Creating an empty service using sc create JobQueue binPath= "C:\windows\system32"

3. Adding a registry key called Parameters to the service registry key located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > services > JobQueue

4. Adding the following three string values to the new registry key.

As below:

Application="c:\ruby193\bin\ruby.exe"
AppDirectory="$PATH_TO_RAILS_APP"
AppParameters="c:\ruby193\bin\rake jobs:work RAILS_ENV=$ENVIRONMENT"
