I have a method in my model that uses delayed\_jobs and it is supposed to ssh into a server and delete files but I keep getting `Permission denied, please try again.` in my log when I see delayed\_job trying to complete the task.

The following below works without putting it in delayed\_jobs. It seems as if delayed\_jobs is like its own user and I need to add it to my server to be able to ssh into it. I did `adduser delayed_job` that did not work, I tried `adduser DJ` that as well did not work. Keep getting the same errors as above. What would be a solution to this issue I am facing?

for testing purposes I am trying the following below

```auto
before_destroy :schedule_destroy

def schedule_destroy
  User.delay(run_at: 1.minutes.from_now).destroy_numbers
end

def self.destroy_numbers
 SysExecLogger.exec "ssh myserver 'rm -r /var/gluster/recordings/boop/'"
end

```
