Performing Time based action

Rails
1

I need to do a particular action at a specified time on the web
server(some thing like windows process which runs continuously on the
server and do the specified action.)

Any one please suggest if this can be implemented using ruby on rails.

I usually create a ruby file in the script directory that can be called
hourly, daily, or weekly via a cron job.

Or you can use the scheduled trigger in backgroundrb if you want to
create new task at specified time on the web or if that task need to
access the application’s model.
