Always Running Resque Job

Question

I have a resque job that I want one and only one instance of always running. As soon as the job finishes I would like it to be immediately be enqueued again.

I could use Resque.enqueue_in but then the question becomes how to make sure it is initially enqueued when the app is rebooted.

Answer 1

Add initial enqueue code to custom initializer in config/initializers. Read more here.

Answer 2

Cant you have a piece of code that works on booting the rails app and that en-queues the job for the first time ? application.rb maybe.
