Greetings!

I’m trying to use Ara’s Background Job on Windows and running into a  
problem. I’ve installed it as a gem and added “require ‘bj’” at the end  
of environment.rb. When I run ‘bj setup’ i’m getting a “FATAL – : not  
opened for reading (IOError)” message. The line in the stack trace  
before/under it takes me into instance\_method.rb where there’s a call to  
Logger.new(\*log). The documentation says bj will write to its own log  
file, but it doesn’t say anything about needing to set that up manually.

Anybody got experience getting Background Job set up on Windows? Or  
just some experience with Background Job and any ideas re: how I might  
get it setup?

Thanks much and in advance for any assistance.

Best regards,  
Bill
