Hey! Look at http://github.com/javan/whenever/tree/master as a Ruby-based cron builder.

Delayed Job. Not as good a fit as Rufus, since DJ is more an event-based solution instead of Cron-style

With Rufus, I'd need to write the SQL to see if the tweet had been fetched yet - yes, that same SQL that's cluttering up the log.

Do I really need all this added complexity? Why can't I just have cron execute a ruby script every few minutes and that's that? One added benefit/drawback is that the activity can bypass the ever-bloated log files. Or I guess I could add a line to the log manually. Hmmm...

Solved.
- github/javan/whenever
- rake twitterfetcher:get_tweets
Took a while to get whenver working, thanks to an Ubuntu+RVM false detour and wild goosechase. Seems that a periodic whenver --clear-crontab can work like Fletcher's Castoria.
