Creating cronjob in ubuntu

Type : crontab -e

Then we can mention our command
# m h dom mon dow command

*/15 * * * * /deploy/project/cronjobs/alert.sh (Path file for where we have that sh file)

This will run for every 15 minute.

Example for run the rake task:
----------------------------------------------------

In the sh file we need to write the following details,
open the alert.sh and type the following

cd /home/deploy/applicationdirectory
/usr/bin/rake alerts

here this is the script for running the alerts tasks

Upgrading rails application from old version to Lastest version.Up

For Ex: Our old rails application is rails 1.2.6 or less than recent version.

Then what we need to do is go to the application directory

Ex: gousalya@home-desktop:~/project/mormonlore$ rails .
exists
exists app/controllers
exists app/helpers
exists app/models
exists app/views/layouts
exists config/environments
exists config/initializers
create config/locales
exists db
exists doc
exists lib
exists lib/tasks
exists log
exists public/images
exists public/javascripts
exists public/stylesheets
exists script/performance
exists test/fixtures
exists test/functional
exists test/integration
create test/performance
exists test/unit
exists vendor
exists vendor/plugins
exists tmp/sessions
exists tmp/sockets
exists tmp/cache
exists tmp/pids

overwrite script/about? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh] y
force script/about
overwrite script/console? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh] y
force script/console

Now our application is migrated to recent version.
