I have a rake task I need to run as a daily job on

  • 0

I have a rake task I need to run as a daily job on a Windows XP machine. I discovered the Windows “scheduled tasks” control panel. I’m trying to figure out how to get it to run my Rake task.

Two of the fields are “run” (with a browse button) and “start in”. I tried to enter rake mycategory:mytask into “run” and my Rails project dir containing the Rake task into “start in”. The result was a message saying the task “could not start”.

How can I get set up a Windows “scheduled task” to run a Rake task?

    If you can build a batch file that can execute it properly I would do so, and then you can direct the batch file to run with the task.

    Something like this should work:

    :: Run task every hour
@call rake stats RAILS_ENV="production"
