Having a background job do the updates will only update the database. The user still has to refresh the page to get the current amount of resources. Or you'd still have to update the page via ajax so that the values are updated. To answer your question, a js will at most send 1 request to your server every hour, which is much more acceptable than sending a request to the server every minute just so that the server can update the resources' values via ajax. > On 16 Aug., 11:37, Jigar Patel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Create an endpoint and call it using external cron service. > > > > http://www.setcronjob.com/ > > > > -- > > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------- visit my blog at http://jimlabs.heroku.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
