Hi All,  
I wanna use backgroundrb for running my scheduler task but the  
newer version is not working on windows.Then i am using version from  
svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb

Please help me and tell can i use backgroundrb like this i have some  
points:

1. First i want to send email through background rb

2. But that mail will be send from different criteria which i will send  
to worker class from controller using  
MiddleMan.new\_worker(:class =\> :foo\_worker,  
:args =\> {:baz =\> ‘hello!’,  
:qux =\> ‘another arg!’})  
But every time args will change and i can run one another task without  
completing th first task also.So can i run multiple thread using this.

3.I used repeat\_every method but if once task completed then how to stop  
that.

Looking for your suggestions.  
Thanks
