How to create a background task?

Rails

Hi All,

I’m a newbie for RoR. Now, I want to create a background task: send an
email
at 6 pm every day. How can I create this task?

Thanks,
Rod Dong

I’ve not used it yet, but think railscron could be what you’re looking
for:

Look at the rails wiki on creating background tasks. Set up a cron job
which
uses the runner script to execute the function which will control
sending of
the email.

HTH.
