are there any tools to schedule jobs with ruby in xp. i dont want to
use the windows scheduled jobs as i am having issue with it.
I think there was some discussion of scheduling implemented in Ruby a while ago here but can't remember the details. Maybe a search in the archives reveals more. RAA would also be a good place to look. Then you also have to invoke some kind of service wrapper around the Ruby interpreter but I believe you'll find something like this - maybe even from MS. HTH
Kind regards

How about the "at" command instead then?

The Task Scheduler is already a service, but it's possible there's
something else out there. There's probably 'cron for windows' and
such. A pure Ruby cron-like service would be a cool project,
though. 
Junkone, are you having trouble with the taskscheduler or the win32-
taskscheduler library? The latter could probably use some TLC.

There is Taskr that just got out of the door :

Though maybe it's already a bit too much for just "ruby in xp".

I use PyCron on Windows which is very similar to Cron. It works well, runs as a service, automatically restarts when Windows starts up and can schedule anything. I use it kickstart a CMD file that sets all the environment variables we need and then class the Ruby script we want.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mohit.
