whenever gem: when work starts for the first time?

Question

In my schedule.rb file I have the following lines:

every 6.day, :at => "9:00am" do
  runner "my_function"
end

When my function starts for the first time?

I don't understand the question. – Ryan Bigg Nov 12 '13 at 08:51 — Ryan Bigg, Nov 12 '13 at 08:51

You can inspect the actual cron generated content using this command in your rails root directory :

whenever

Using a line like the one you provided, this gives this to me :

0 9 1,7,13,19,25 * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd path && script/rails runner -e production '\''my_function'\'''

Which means the task is ran the 1th, 7th, 13th, 19th and 25th, at 9:00.
