i doing in rails console:

job = scheduler.at 1.minute.from_now service.log.debug 'scheduler works' end job.schedule_info => wed, 07 aug 2013 16:14:46 utc 00:00

scheduler defined in other file:

require 'rubygems' require 'rufus/scheduler'  def scheduler   @scheduler ||= rufus::scheduler.start_new end

and when run in console:

service.log.debug 'scheduler works'

service log file written.

problem

scheduler.at 1.minute.from_now service.log.debug 'scheduler works' end

does not write in log after minute. missing? how debug this?

actual problem

that's classic:

(unfortunately, of links in discussions dead (4 years ago...))

you'll have check passenger configuration see how behaves. you'll have make sure process rufus-scheduler thread started preserved somehow.

take time read passenger configuration / manual , experiment tuning it.

i vaguely remember help:

ajet's answer in rufus scheduler not running interesting, advocates:
