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

Change your code from

class MyModel
  def checkPings
  end
end

to

class MyModel
  def self.checkPings
  end
end

Note there is self added to the method name.

def checkPings is an instance method for the class MyModel whereas def self.checkPings is a class method.
