I have an application that generates Reports. We have a webpage with two button "Generate Report" and "Cancel".

Now on click of "Generate Report" I trigger a cronjob, which generates the report. I have a load balanced environment L1 & l2 servers. Now once I click "Generate Report" the cronjob starts running on one of the servers, so if I click the "Cancel" button now, it sometimes throws an error because it tries to stop the cronjob on the server on which it is not running.

So the question is "How do I know on which server the cronjob was started and needs to be stopped" ?

When job starts you can write down its host to a database or something. – Sergio Tulentsev Jul 09 '12 at 15:09
Do I do it using Ruby/Shell script ? and how do I cancel ? pick the host from the db and create a request specific to it ? – AaShish Upadhyay Jul 09 '12 at 15:39
