Scheduled

A simple task scheduler, akin to ClockWork or Rufus Scheduler.

Project Goals

Absolutely no dependency on ActiveSupport
Very small dependency tree
Framework agnostic
No built-in daemonization
No scheduling DSL

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "scheduled"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install scheduled

Usage

Defining tasks

Tasks are defined by calling Scheduled.every with an interval and a block to execute. The interval can be a basic Integer to represent seconds, or a callable object that receives the current Job.

If the callable object returns a truthy value, the block is executed.

require "scheduled"

# Called every 60 seconds
Scheduled.every(60) { do_work } # Perform some job

# Using a cronline
Scheduled.every("* * * * *") { do_work }

two_hours_from_last_run = ->(job) do
  Time.now - job.last_run >= 60*60*2
end
Scheduled.every(two_hours_from_last_run) { puts "Updating" }

# Run the scheduler
Scheduled.wait

Running the scheduler

Provided your schedule file ends with a call to Scheduled.wait, just run it as any other Ruby script.

ruby schedule.rb

Quick Returning Tasks

Scheduled works best if you schedule the tasks into a long-running queue, such as Backburner or Sidekiq.
