Thanks again for your help. I discovered what the problem was; I had
receive_data defined in a module that was included in the handler
class. Apparently this was not getting called (I am guessing the way
in which packet determines whether the method exists in the handler
class changed, or the order in which modules are mixed in changed).
Either way, moving the method directly into the handler class seems to
have solved the problem. Thank you again for your help, I really love
backgroundrb!

Both servers are RHLE, one Red Hat 5, the other 4. The kernel on

Okay, I am assuming one of the workers is starting the server and
perhaps other worker uses #connect to connect to the server started on
previous worker, right?
What might be happening is, when next worker attempts to connect, it
may not find server up yet, hence you need to make reconnect attempt.
This is of course, complete guess work, but for example:
class Bar
def receive_data p_data
send_data(p_data)
end
def connection_completed
puts "whoa man"
end
# will be automatically called when server refuses the connection,
lets try to reconnect after 10 seconds
# if reconnect fails unbind will be automatically called and next
attempt will be made after 10 seconds.
def unbind
add_timer(10) { reconnect("localhost",2981,Bar) }
end
end
class FooWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker
set_worker_name :foo_worker
def create(args = nil)
# this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time
connect("localhost",2981,Bar)
end
end
Also, there was a problem with add_timer.. when used within tcp
connections like that, hence I had to release a new version of packet
(0.1.10, its up on rubyforge.org).
Let me know, if this fixes your problem.
