Hi all,

I am running a linux shared hosting environment, and one of my users would like to make use of an app (Coupra Express) which uses backgroundrb to process certain tasks. This requires that I run backgroundrb as a service so that it is always available to the client.

What I am trying to assess is if there are potential security risks in running this in a shared hosting environment. I assume that this service would be available to other users on the same server as well - if so are there any security issues that I should be aware of there? I read on http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/69440 that backgroundrb can be configured to only accept connections from localhost (I believe this was the default behaviour)?

Any information would be very much appreciated. Unfortunately I am completely unfamiliar with ruby, rake or backgroundrb and am attempting to pick up as much as possible as I research this topic, so if I have misspoken please feel free to correct me.

Many thanks
Patric
