I have asked this before without any luck, trying again.

this is what I have in my dj.rb initializer

Delayed::Worker.backend = :active\_record  
Delayed::Worker.logger = Rails.logger  
#Delayed::Worker.logger = ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.new(“log/  
##{Rails.env}\_delayed\_jobs.log”, Rails.logger.level)  
class Delayed::Job  
def logger  
Delayed::Worker.logger  
end  
end  
if JobsCommon::check\_job\_exists(“PeriodicJob”).blank?  
Delayed::Job.enqueue PeriodicJob.new(), 0,  
Constants::PROCESS\_FREQ.from\_now  
end  
#end

This is my job class

class PeriodicJob  
def perform  
this.logger.info “Periodic job writing #{Time.now}”

# Rails.logger.info “Periodic job writing #{Time.now}”

```
    if JobsCommon::check_job_exists("PeriodicJob").blank?
        Delayed::Job.enqueue PeriodicJob.new(), 0,

```

Constants::VOTE\_PROCESS\_FREQ.from\_now  
end  
end  
end

the job fails with the error message

2010-08-09T13:29:59-0700: [Worker(delayed\_job host:ubuntu pid:8941)]  
acquired lock on PeriodicJob

I am sure this has been done before.

Please help.
