It's built for rails 3 on the delayed_job 2.1.0.pre2 tag but don't see why it wouldn't work on rails 2 as well as it hooks into the callbacks of the Delayed::Job ActiveRecord class to turn workers on and off based on the creation and destruction of jobs. + +== installation + +Add the gem to your Gemfile +<pre> +gem "workless" +</pre> == Note on Patches/Pull Requests * Fork the project. * Make your feature addition or bug fix.
