Answer 2

I guess you only have to do this

BACKGROUND=yes rake resque:scheduler 

and perhaps that would work check over here

Hope this help

thanks Viren have used the way PIDFILE=./resque-scheduler.pid BACKGROUND=yes rake resque:scheduler it worked for me – Corduroys

Note, you should have a resque version >= 1.20 to use BACKGROUND=yes option – Respectable

It runs for some time and stops. How can you keep running all the time? – Valerievalerio

@Valerievalerio create a new SO question and provide a context around it. – Chafer

Answer 3

try this out

rake resque:scheduler BACKGROUND=true

or

rake resque:scheduler &

and now if you want to suppress the output of the rake task try running it with nohup

nohup rake my:task BACKGROUND=true

Answer 4

Try the following to configure resque-schedular in God script.

Install god gem

gem install god

create a file with name as watch.god in your project folder.

Add following to watch.god

God.watch do |w|
  w.name = "resque_schedular"
  w.dir = '/home/machine_name/project_path'
  w.start = "BACKGROUND=yes bundle exec rake environment resque:scheduler"
  w.keepalive
end

Run god in terminal to test

$ god -c path/to/watch.god -D

Run god in daemon(background) from terminal

$ god -c path/to/watch.god

Watch out for the typo in God configuration, it's BACKGROUND not BACKGROUNG – Dyson
