Comment on No More Crontab Madness with a single Night Rake-Task by James (@JamesGecko)

Note that using the @weekly dealie in crontab is also an option.

As an application developer, I might consider doing this. As a sysadmin, I start tearing my hair out when dealing with other people’s partial crontab reimplementations.

Like the explanation. I also like to think about spec (or scenario) coverage and focus on that.

Comment on Rails: transform Path to Url by Will Sulzer

Will Sulzer — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:07:09 +0000

Here’s mine. This works in Rails 3.1. I needed to use this method because if was needed a full path to assets, and Rails would only give me the relative paths, i.e. image_path(‘foo’), video_path(‘bar’). It’s too bad that they don’t support image_url, etc..

def path_to_url(path)
“#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}#{path}”
end

Comment on Kill process in capistrano without pkill by Luke

Luke — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:27:04 +0000

I ran into this. However, in my case, I was matching the end of the command line used, so adding a $ to the end of my pattern caused it to match the one I wanted an not the capistrano spawned process.
