Rails Cron — Craken July 18, 2008

My good buddy Doug Mciness wrote a rake task to manage and install cronjobs. We have it hooked into our Capistrano deployments, which allows for uber simple cron management. I added a few modifications such as, erb’ed raketab templates, and global/system specific crontabs.

It’s up on GitHubhttp://github.com/latimes/craken/tree/master

In the process of determining if these rakefiles should be yaml instead, would probably be the “more railsy rails way” of doing it.

Giles Bowkett gets props for the groovy name, and improved SEO of this post!
