Flushing logs for script/runner
1 comment Created 6 months ago by drnic

Title

Body
This article suggests we need to explicitly flush logs. Perhaps the snippet of code in the article could be generated by whenever? http://earthcode.com/blog/2009/05/rails_script_runner_logging_cron.html

for this you use the :at method and just declare two, if thats not dry enough, use a clever loop with an array of you times?

What happens when you try to run ./vendor/gems/javan-whenever-0.3.7/bin/whenever from the command line?

Ultimately, I need to find a good solution for people who want to vendor this gem.

Can you paste your schedule.rb file or provide a test showing the failure? Thanks.

I got this error because I did

every :day, :at => ...

Apparently this is not a supported syntax. "every 1.days ..." works. Still not obvious to me why.

Thanks, I confirmed this, and it's definitely a bug. However, using :day with an :at was never supposed to work, but it was supposed to present a better error message.

:day gets translated to the cron shortcut @daily so using a time with that won't work. Note that you can use "every 1.day" instead of 1.days, if that makes you feel any better. :)

Had this problem as well. Is this something that should blow up with a better error or something you (javan) think should be supported?

Might take a look at the solution if you have a preference.

Yeah, it used to raise an exception with an explanation. I'm not sure what changed to prevent it from raising. I'd be happy if you figured it out.

Please run 'whenever' with no options and past the output. It won't touch your crontab file.
