Hi,

I am using OpenWFEru gem for scheduling the weekly mailing in my rails  
application. I have written the scheduler code as a stand-alone ruby  
code. So I have to run it separately.

But I want this scheduler to start when I start my rails server. I tried  
putting this ruby code in config/initializers. But the server is not  
getting started as this scheduler code keeps on running.

Following is my ruby code in config/initializers.

require ‘openwfe/util/scheduler’  
include OpenWFE

scheduler = Scheduler.new  
scheduler.start

scheduler.schedule(‘0 9 \* \* 1’) do  
system “ruby D:\Projects\Producteering\script\runner  
Person.send\_weekly\_digest”  
end

scheduler.join

Am I doing anything wrong? Or is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance…
