Ruby on rails - Static method

Question

I want a method to be executed every 5 minutes, I implemented whenever for ruby (cron). But it does not work. I think my method is not accessible. The method I want to exec

Answer 1

You can use static methods in Ruby like this:

class MyModel
    def self.do_something
        puts "this is a static method"
    end
end
MyModel.do_something  # => "this is a static method"
MyModel::do_something # => "this is a static method"

Also notice that you're using a wrong naming convention for your method. It should be check_pings instead, but this does not affect if your code works or not, it's just the ruby-style.
