From: dusty Date: 2008-07-24T03:44:18+09:00 Subject: BJ - Reaping 1 threads for slow workers because of 'shutdown' I'm calling Bj from inside a controller in rails. # controller code http://pastie.org/239415 Its running a simple script that logs the user to the database. Obviously this isn't a good candidate for a background job, this is just something simple I'm using to test. # bj script code http://pastie.org/239418 When I shutdown rails, I get a timeout error from mongrel # log snippet http://pastie.org/239419 Any ideas why mongrel is holding on to that thread? I am calling exit_success! at the end of my run action in the bj script, it appears the script is exiting properly. I also find it strange that the sessions_controller is referred to in that backtrace. Any ideas? Thanks dusty doris
