Question

[edit] I can delay all mail using delayed_job plugin on a shared server with a daemon… except the mail using authlogic.
I don’t know where I have to search, and why it is working in other way.

daemons (off) delayed_job & delayed_mail_mailer (on) authlogic (reset_password) : send
daemons (on) delayed_job & delayed_mail_mailer (on) other_model (send_mail) : send
daemons (on) delayed_job & delayed_mail_mailer (on) authlogic (reset_password) : nothing !

Where to search the problem ??

app/initializer/delayed_mailer.rb :

class ActionMailer::Base
  include Delayed::Mailer
end

config/initializers/delayed_job_config.rb :

Delayed::Job.destroy_failed_jobs = false
silence_warnings do
  Delayed::Job.const_set("MAX_ATTEMPTS", 3)
  Delayed::Job.const_set("MAX_RUN_TIME", 5.minutes)
end

  :dir_mode   => :normal, 
  :dir        => File.join(dir, 'tmp', 'pids'), 
  :backtrace  => true,

More infos : Rails 2.3.5 & tobi delayed_job & daemons 1.0.10
I’m on dreamhost shared web hosting, but look the same on development mode on my computer.

[Edit 2] I will control to be sure, but seems it was only the max run time too short…

[Edit 3] an other way I’m trying : control if pid exist

Just to turn the page… passing in Rails 3 and updating gem… everything fine. And much simpler.

Mystery of binary coding !
