Hi all,
Ive recently designed a system that is started from the command line.
ie.
/usr/local/bin/system.rb
The system is a long running task that outputs messages via “puts” to
the shell as its being executed.
I need to run this command from a rails application so that 1) it doesnt
block .ie user gets a “please wait” screen 2) and more importantly I
want the output of the command sent in real-time or near real-time to
the view, under the “please wait” message. And when the command exits,
the user is redirected to another view.
Any ideas whats the best way to do this?
