Dear Shino and all, I am considering on the use of AP4R for our project named "CLIK" for the time being. CLIK is essentially a Rails front-end to a data crunching job that ultimately creates a climate prediction. Some of these jobs only takes a few seconds to finish, some a few minutes, and intensive calculations 30 minutes or more. Obviously we need to put many of these jobs in the background and get the output after the job is done. Actually we use a separate data processing server on a remote machine using DRb.
I explored a few solutions by googling and found projects like "Background Job", "rudeQ", "Workling" etc, which provide queing and background processing. My question is how "AP4R" compares to or is different from these others? Anyway I am going to explore how to use AP4R in this project by looking at the HelloWorld example as a guide. FYI, I am only a climatologist and do not know much about queues, Ruby or Rails and I hoping for good advice from this list if anything goes wrong. Yoroshiku, saji -- -- Saji N.
