+1 But if you're stuck where you are, you can use a "webcron" service to periodically make a request to an action on your server, which then fires off the process. So have a controller call "WebCron" with actions like "calculate_stats" and call http://your.url/web_cron/calculate_stats -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
