I need to run a background task which should last several hours. How can
I do this in rails?

Hi,

What sort of tasks do you intend to do?
Database/ file system/ operating system oriented, appropriate approach
can
be decided depending on these

Use the backgroundrb system. It scales better in the long run as you
decide to do more stuff in the background and require better control.

The task is building source code with gcc.
take a look at the earlier mentioned backgrounDRb:
