Subject: Bj 1.0.1 -- can I rerun jobs that have had errors

ara,

Backgroundjob works great -- Thanks!

I have about 40 jobs in the job table that have errors and I'd like 
to rerun them because I've fixed the condition which caused the 
error. Is there a way to re-run them using Bj?

--- fyi: background on my problem for others ---

I'm running rails fcgi instances from lighttpd and ruby is located here:

   /usr/local/bin/ruby

Long ago I had set the ruby shell interpreter path for dispatch.fcgi to:

   /usr/local/bin/ruby

and forgot about it.

./script/runner uses:

   /usr/bin/env ruby

Which when running under the lighttpd user resolves to:

   /usr/bin/ruby

Which isn't the same ruby and doesn't have the same gems.

I could fix it by re-writing the shell interpreter path for 
script/runner or by changing the lighttpd.conf file by adding "PATH" 
=> "/usr/local/bin" to the bin-environment setting in the 
fastcgi.server for the rails app.

Example:

fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
   (
       (
      "socket" => basedir + "railsapp/log/code.socket",
      "min-procs" => 2,
      "max-procs" => 8,
      "bin-path" =>  basedir + "railsapp/public/dispatch.fcgi",
      "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production", 
"RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT" => "/railsapp", "PATH" => "/usr/local/bin" )
)))
