# Sidekiq defers scheduling cron-like tasks to other, better suited gems. # If you want to run a job regularly, here's an example # of using the 'whenever' gem to push jobs to Sidekiq # regularly. class MyWorker include Sidekiq::Worker def perform(count) puts "Job ##{count}: Late night, so tired..." end def self.late_night_work 10.times do |x| perform_async(x) end end end # Kick off a bunch of jobs early in the morning every 1.day, :at => '4:30 am' do runner "MyWorker.late_night_work" end class HourlyWorker include Sidekiq::Worker def perform cleanup_database format_hard_drive end end every :hour do # Many shortcuts available: :hour, :day, :month, :year, :reboot runner "HourlyWorker.perform_async" end
