OK i managed to use Sequel DB. But the backgroundjob api etc seems 
overkill. This LoopingThread works below, but i noticed 100% usgae on 
ruby 1.8.6. Is this normal?

class LoopingThread < Thread
  def initialize
    @stopped = false
    @paused = false
    super do
      before_loop
      until @stopped
        yield
        Thread.stop if @paused
      end
      after_loop
    end
  end

  def before_loop
  end

  def after_loop
  end

  def stop
    @stopped = true
  end

  def paused=(paused)
    @paused = paused
    run if !paused
  end
end
