Full instructions can be found here:

[http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/](http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/)

So your worker with new plugin would look like:

class PsWorker \< BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker  
set\_worker\_name :ps\_worker

# gets called when worker is created

def create(args)  
deliver\_test\_mail()  
add\_periodic\_timer(2\*60) { deliver\_test\_mail }  
end

def deliver\_test\_mail  
Sende1.deliver\_test  
end  
end

Inside your workers, you have full access to your rails environment( and  
hence model and everything).
