Get a new host that doesn't suck. Seriously, VPS hosting is crazy cheap nowadays and doesn't have bizarro restrictions like "no shell access". I'm not sure what else is an option - the issue is that the whole Rails stack is centered on serving requests, and there's not really a way to say, "wait for this till time X". There are a number of "Ruby cron"-type things, but they all ultimately rely on a real attachment to cron - or they require persistent daemon processes, which I suspect your current host doesn't allow *either*... --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
