how to run background job in rails 3

Question

I have a small application that I would like to host on Heroku. All the application do is log in to a remote server every 5 minutes to get a file and analyze it.

I am using rails3 and wondering how can I make it run background job like this.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks, David

Heroku has a lot of documentation on scaling up workers, and there are gems for only using workers while your processes need them, thus saving you a ton of money.
