Introducing the RSF_services gem

The RSF_services gem provides a convenient way to run a Ruby Script File (RSF) related service as well as adhoc jobs. When a new RSFServices object is initialized it reads the XML registry to run the jobs which are present within the system/startup section.

gem install rsf_services

require 'rsf_services'

rs = RSFServices.new '/tmp/registry.xml'

file: /tmp/registry.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<root>
  <system>
    <startup>
      <r2>
        <load>1</load>
      </r2>
    </startup>
