Hi.
I’m calling a script from the command line using script/runner. The
script registers some files which are manipulated using ImageMagick’s
tools. The script uses today’s date to scan a directory. Sometimes I
need to scan a directory which dates two-three days back. I tried to
use the following code which does not work:
time = Time.now
@date = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") unless @date = ARGV[0]
In this case the script won’t insert records in the db. I had to
change the line to:
@date = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
This is fine as long as I don’t have to register orders in the past.
The script is called from crontab using:
ruby ./script/runner -e production ‘require “./register_orders.rb”’
I tried to do a ‘register_orders.rb 2006-02-28’ so ARGV[0] would
become the date. But this prevents register_orders.rb from inserting
any records, regardless of the code above.
Is there any way that I can pass a parameter using script/runner
‘require “my_script param1”’? Or by some other means call it and point
to a date in the past?
regards
Claus
