For automatically scheduling a function call at a specified time i used a plugin BackgrounDRb but it is not creating connection for MiddleMan.new\_worker (gives an error : Not able to connect) Please give me any idea for above or any new idea for scheduling an automatic method call at regular intervals such as in an hr or a day ---
