I have ruby on rails website,in which I want to perform some task at fixed interval such as ‘sending report by email every sunday’,for example.
I have examined using whenever gem but since it is wrapper for the *nix utility cron,it may not work on windows.
I am asking for which gem or method to use to do for scheduling such above task that is not depend on underlying platform?
Both Clockwork and rufus-scheduler (optionally combined with delayed job) are good gems for scheduling tasks.
If you are on torquebox, it already provides a job scheduler based on quartz.
