You can take a look at the whenever gem, it provides a nice way to
manage
cron jobs through ruby and if you are deploying using capistrano you
just
need to add this two lines to your deploy.rb file:

set :whenever_command, “bundle exec whenever”
require “whenever/capistrano”

Give it a try =D

Best regards!
