Hi I have succesfully send mail from my rails application…I did it like below.What I am doing is send a mail to an assignee. def after\_transfer code-------- code------ send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee(assignee\_id) end #This is the function responsible for sending mails def send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee(contact\_id) contact\_name=Contact.find(contact\_id).name official\_email\_ids = ContactEmailAddress.find\_all\_by\_contact\_id(contact\_id ,:conditions =\> “contact\_email\_address\_type\_id = ‘2’” ) official\_email\_ids.each do |official\_email| ServiceDeskMailer.deliver\_to\_send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee\_on\_transfer\_reason(official\_email,contact\_name) end puts "```````````````````` " end Then my question is how can i put this to seperate thread in ruby…Why I am asking this is only after all the mails are send i can continue in the view…So if I put this to a thread is that problem solved .Since I am new thread especially in ruby could you please tell me how i can implement that? Thanks in advance Sijo ---

Not really – you just push the problem further down the request chain. Your request handler can’t complete and pick up a new request until the mail handling thread completes. In production, this will probably be unacceptable. Search the Google Group for backgroundrb, starfish and a4r. This has been discussed here at least twice in the last week. 🙂 Ciao, Sheldon. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFITksDpGJX8XSgas0RAngkAJMGAbxxlkZZWopd0h90CnNZXsqjAJ9Mpr+3 /uZaCIPYN3VPphqxnhdttQ== =oZss -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

Hi I here again tried installing Backgroundrb like svn co [http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1](http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1) /vendor/plugins/backgroundrb And succed.But now when i did ruby script/backgroundrb start It gives the error /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- daemons (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require’ from /home/sijo/railsexamples/mailexamples/mailing/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/backgroundrb\_server.rb:2 from script/backgroundrb:27:in `require’ from script/backgroundrb:27 Could you please tell me what the reason is?

Not sure if this is it, but it seems to be saying there’s a gem called daemons missing? sudo gem install daemons On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 7:19 PM, Sijo Kg [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > ## `gem\_original\_require’: no such file to load – daemons (LoadError) > > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). > > > – Ramon T. ---

Any reasons for using such an ancient version of backgroundrb? Checkout: [http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org](http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org) Also, i am getting backgroundrb for a new release and instructions for running code from git is here: [http://gnufied.org/2008/05/21/bleeding-edge-version-of-backgroundrb-for-better-memory-usage/](http://gnufied.org/2008/05/21/bleeding-edge-version-of-backgroundrb-for-better-memory-usage/) Mant find git version much more stable than svn, so please try that other than anything else. Also, there is a mailing list for backgroundrb, which you can use for posting queries.
