I still haven’t come across an ideal solution to task scheduling.. which is what will be needed to handle “run for 15 mins”, or “run at 12pm tomorrow”.
I am trying to not rely on external services such as resque, IronMQ, IronWorker etc..
I found this: http://rufus.rubyforge.org/rufus-scheduler/ rufus-scheduler.. works similar to cron tab.
the concept will be the program will have a restful json based API to interact with the stations.. things like
http://rubysprinkler/stations/
or for scheduled runs
http://rubysprinkler/stations/
one example i have currently “working” is: http://rubysprinkler/stations/1/start/runtime/10 & http://rubysrpinkler/stations/1/stop
