From: Lothar Scholz Date: 2005-04-14T00:55:12+09:00 Subject: Re: Threads in Rails Hello Brian, BM> Even under FastCGI or mod_ruby, I wouldn't rely on the lifetime (or BM> cycle) of a given VM for processing anything in the background. A It is possible if vou configure the webserver to use external FastCGI servers and not one that is controlled by apache. And if you do this it's better to use another server that works much better with FastCGI then apache. Under mod_ruby there is indeed no way to garantee anything outside the request scope. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
