Can I queue jobs up for later processing?

Can I use a gem like delayed_job to have long-running processed occur later? I was reading the docs, and it looks like I need to install the daemon gem. Wasn’t sure if I could start a daemon process or not.

If not, is there a recommended way to run background jobs so they won’t tie up the server?

Thanks,

– Tad

Hi Tad,

Daemons and processes running in the background are not permitted on our managed services. If you need to schedule processes for later times, a cron job would be the way to go.

Thanks. That’s good to know before I get too far down the path of developing using that model.
