Run crono automatically with rails s #29

Closed lebart closed 9 years ago

Hello,

Tanks for this gem, very simple to use!

To test it, I just add it to a brand new rails app, at first I was waiting in front of the console to see the first test (print something) to appears... Nothing appends

I figure it out latter that I have to run bundle exec crono.

Is there any possibilities to make crono runs/launches when you start your rails server? Or maybe I'm missing something.

You may use an initializer that starts crono daemonized, but this can be a source of headache, since you will still have to handle shutting crono down.

After some comparisons, especially with Rufus-scheduler, that's what I figured out. I agreed with you this can be tricky to shut down if started with an initializer.

The project is really nice for "monitoring" some tasks directly out of the box!
