如何在Sidekiq中运行某个工人一段时间？

Question

I am writing a rails app in which I have a piece of code which is dependent on Time zones.

How can make my Sidekiq worker, work only in day time of a time zone ie for a certain duration of time everyday.

The worker should pause at certain point of time (end of day) even when its queue is not empty and resume the next day.

Answer 1

I suggest starting a Cron Job, using the whenever gem that stops the Sidekiq workers at a certain time, and starts them again at a certain time.

You can stop sidekiq workers via sidekiqctl: sidekiqctl stop [pidfile] 60
