how can i stop rufus-scheduler from my script : 

@scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new
job = @scheduler.schedule_every '3m' do |job|
  # processing
end

I just want to test in first step if the job is running if true stop the job. Thanks

Solution

  • Here is a standalone script that shows how to do it:

    require 'rufus-scheduler'

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new

job = scheduler.schedule_every '1s' do
  # processing...
  sleep 3600
end

# later on...

sleep 2

p job.running?   # true

job.kill if job.running?

p job.running?   # false

    If you can't keep the job instance around but can keep a string, you could do:

    job_id = scheduler.every '3m' do
  # processing...
end

# later on...

job = scheduler.job(job_id)
