Hi all,

I have another noobie question. After looking at last night
presentation about Rails 3, I am wondering where do we put piece of
code that runs on a separate thread for a long time every 5 seconds?
e.g

Thread.new do
  while true
    queue = check_whether_there_is_something_new_in_the_queue

    while queue > 0
      Trends.create(:data => queue.data)
    end

    sleep 5
  end
end


1. I don't really like using cron to call `script/rails runner` as
that will load the whole rails library which will choke the server
because this process is run every 5 seconds.
2. I don't know about resque (which was mentioned by Ryan) yet, but
since resque is a separate webapp, would resque know anything about
the models in my Rails app?


Any input is highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Josh
