end

this is my code in config/schedule.rb

every :sunday, :at => '12pm' do 
  runner "Employee.make_checkin_out"
end

how can i change the above logic?

Answer 1

whenever gem gives a facility to generate a cron job. This is a scheduler for rake tasks. You can define like

every 1.month, :at => '4:30 am' do
  runner "MyModel.task_to_run_at_four_thirty_morning_every_month"
end

If you want something like 1st sunday every month use cron editor like

0 12 1-7 * * [ "$(date '+\\%a')" = "Sun" ]
