how to release the rufus process

[edward]

Hello everybody

I need to compile a ruby script into a window exe file using OCRA, in my script, I used fufus to execute a scheduler task, including 

scheduler.every...   

scheduler cron...

I use job.unschedule to unload the scheuler, but the process is still live. so the OCRA could not get all script informaiton.  until the whole process is done.

my question is:

how to stop or release the script/process?

Any help would be great appreciate.

Hello,

you can do

exit(0)

to exit the process (and of course terminate the scheduler).


Hope it helps, best regards,

Thanks for your so quickly reply, John.

Dear John

where is the place to put [exit(0)]?

the following is my script:

-----<8----

def time_format(t) ;t.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M") ;end

begin

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new

i=0

scheduler.every '30s' do |job|

shut_time=time_format(Time.now)

 p shut_time

if shut_time =="2012-08-24 Fri 18:53"

    puts "crop is ready #{i}."

    job.unschedule

    Process.exit(0)

  else

    i+=1

    puts "crop not yet ready..#{i}."

  end

end

scheduler.join

end

-------->8--------

it caused a "scheduler caught exception:"

 

Cheers

Edward

Hello,

too bad you didn't mention what exception got caught.

Two variants, a:

---8<----
require 'rufus-scheduler'

def time_format(t); t.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M"); end

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new

def scheduler.handle_exception(job, exception)
exit(0) if exception.is_a?(SystemExit)
p [ job, exception ]
end

i = 0

scheduler.every '30s' do |job|
shut_time = time_format(Time.now)

p shut_time
if shut_time == "2012-08-24 Fri 18:53"
puts "crop is ready #{i}."

#job.unschedule # no need to unschedule if we exit
Process.exit(0)
end
i += 1

puts "crop not yet ready..#{i}."
end

scheduler.join
--->8---

b:

---8<----
require 'rufus-scheduler'

def time_format(t); t.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M"); end

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new

def scheduler.handle_exception(job, exception)
exit(0) if exception.message == 'over.'
p [ job, exception ]
end

i = 0

scheduler.every '30s' do |job|
shut_time = time_format(Time.now)

p shut_time
if shut_time == "2012-08-24 Fri 18:53"
puts "crop is ready #{i}."

#job.unschedule # no need to unschedule if we exit
raise "over."
end
i += 1

puts "crop not yet ready..#{i}."
end

scheduler.join
--->8---

And a third variant, because I think it's overkill to use rufus-scheduler for
that:

---8<---
require 'time'
# to enable Time.parse(s)

shutdown_time = Time.parse('2012-08-24 Fri 18:53')
i = 0

loop do

sleep 30

if Time.now >= shutdown_time
puts "#{Time.now} - crop is ready #{i}."
break
end

i = i + 1
puts "#{Time.now} - crop not yet ready..#{i}."
end
--->8---

Thank you very much for your very detail scripts,John.

Jown, Edward,

Does any of the two alternative actually work? As for version 2.0.18, none worked for me. The reason they do not work is that the exit / Process.exit raise a SystemExit that Rufus evaluates as an error in the exception handler:

In lib/rufus/sc/scheduler.rb:
---
   def do_handle_exception(job, exception)

      begin

        [ :log_exception, :handle_exception, :on_exception ].each do |m|

          next unless self.respond_to?(m)

          if method(m).arity == 1
            self.send(m, exception)
          else
            self.send(m, job, exception)
          end

          return
            # exception was handled successfully
        end

      rescue Exception => e

        $stderr.puts '*' * 80
        $stderr.puts 'the exception handling method itself had an issue:'
        $stderr.puts e
        $stderr.puts *e.backtrace
        $stderr.puts '*' * 80
      end

      $stderr.puts '=' * 80
      $stderr.puts 'scheduler caught exception:'
      $stderr.puts exception
      $stderr.puts *exception.backtrace
      $stderr.puts '=' * 80
    end
---

The rescue catches all exceptions, including SystemExit.

Salut Eric,

glad to read from you.

Yes this rescue is "excessive", been thinking about removing it for a while,
but nobody complained [too much].

I'd be willing to be a good citizen and rescue the default (StandardError)
and let Exception go through.

What do you guys think?

This would be very helpful for me.  I am trying to use Rufus from a Windows daemon and cannot get the application to exit when the service is stopped.
