How it works

Start background jobs server (see delayed_job):

rails jobs:work

Execute all existing jobs and stop:

rails jobs:workoff

Schedule background jobs to refresh all feeds:

rails pull:all

Instantly refresh one single feed:

rails pull:xkcd jobs:workoff

Start web frontend server (not essential for the service to operate):

rails server

Cron configuration to refresh all feeds every 5 minutes:

*/5 * * * * cd /var/www/feeder/current && RAILS_ENV=staging /home/deploy/.rbenv/shims/bundle exec rails pull:all jobs:workoff > /var/www/feeder/current/log/cron.log 2>&1

Edit crontab:

crontab -e

List cron jobs:

crontab -l
