Subject: Re: Can ruby do this?

Hello Goran ~

You can use ruby for your purpose. Though what you want to look into
is called a service or daemon. There are external gem projects if you
just need the functionality or you could look into how to create it by
hand. Another technique would be to build your rotation function to
trigger based on get request. Either way you will need to create a
state for comparing previous time to the new time before rendering the
page.
