Whenever just helps to use cron with simple ruby syntax. To make it run cronjobs. You need to: 1. Exec in your project folder: wheneverize . This will create config/schedule.rb file.
2. There type some action needed to be done with cron: every 3.hours do rake "my:rake:task" end 3. Save it and execute that whenever --update-crontab This will update crontab file. You can ensure that crontab is written by crontab -l 4. And final point restart cron sudo services cron restart Enjoy =) On Jan 7, 10:45 am, Colin Law <[email protected]> wrote: > On 7 January 2012 04:46, dv dhanadan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > how to make the whenever gem to run a cron job? > > I have installed the whenever gem into my rails project > > successfully,could any one tell me on how i can get this gem run a rake > > task for me... > > If you are using cron then you do not need to use whenever.
