rufus-daemon

Run a rufus-scheduler daemon in the background, with access to the instance over DRb unix socket. Lovingly built to prevent hanging processes.

1. Get status updates on your jobs
2. Build a job querying service
3. Allow other processes to dynamically schedule jobs
4. Organise schedule files in ~/.rufus
5. ???
6. Profit

gem install rufus-daemon

$ rufus --help
Usage: rufus [options]

Example: rufus --start

Options:
        --start
        --restart
        --stop
        --status
        --list

Help options:
        --help

require 'rufus/daemon'

Rufus::Daemon.attach.then do |service|
  puts service.rufus # the rufus-scheduler instance

  # .jobs is a helper that deserializes the jobs before sending
  # over DRb socket. Otherwise you get a marshalling error.
  service.jobs.each do |job|
    puts job
  end
end

The daemon will load both a ~/rufus.rb file, and all files inside ~/.rufus with the glob ~/.rufus/**/*.rb. Here's what your files can look like.

every '10s' do
  # call something
end

cron '0 9 * * *' do
  # call something
end
