I’m looking to generate some nightly (once) reports and was thinking of using /lib/daemons/notifier.rb as the trigger

# to be placed before the sleep statement in notifier.rb

  t = Time.now
  if t.hour == 0 && t.min < 2
    if !auto_reports_sent
      AutoReport.send_nightly_reports(logger)
    end
    auto_reports_sent = true
  else
    auto_reports_sent = false
  end 

Will that block execute ‘send_nightly_reports’ one time every night between 12:00 and 12:02

That looks like it should do the trick. Are you having any problems with it?

Haven’t tried it yet, but I worry about the strain any code that executes every 60 seconds will have on the server. I still have to generate PDFs as email attachments in the code that it calls.

Unless I’m misinterpreting your code nothing will execute until midnight. In all other cases the if statement will be false.

will AutoReport.send_nightly_reports(logger) be executed in a separate thread, or will the loop have to wait until it finishes?

t = Time.now
  if t.hour == 0 && t.min < 2
    if !auto_reports_sent
      reports_sent = AutoReport.send_nightly_reports(logger)
      logger.info(reports_sent)
    end
    auto_reports_sent = true
  else
    auto_reports_sent = false
  end 

I updated my code a little bit but still haven’t received an email because notifier is almost always stopped.

I log in and start notifier from the current dir and the next morning there is no email. I log back in and notifier is NOT running.
