Hi Doug, You might want to try www.simpleworker.com for this, you can just schedule your job to run every monday at 7am.
eg: class CallbackWorker < SimpleWorker::Base def run HTTParty.get('http://myapp.heroku.com/messages/send_report') end end Then schedule it with: worker = CallbackWorker.new worker.schedule(:start_at=>Time.now.monday.change(:hour=>7), :run_every=>7*24*3600) That's it.
