Hi Doug,
You might want to try www.simpleworker.com for this, you can just schedule
your job to run every monday at 7am.
eg:
class CallbackWorker < SimpleWorker::Base
def run
HTTParty.get('http://myapp.heroku.com/messages/send_report')
end
end
Then schedule it with:
worker = CallbackWorker.new
worker.schedule(:start_at=>Time.now.monday.change(:hour=>7),
:run_every=>7*24*3600)
That's it.
