Hi John, What I usually do in cases like yours is that I'll create a runnable script that is run using rails runner (like $ ./script/rails runner -e production ./script/fetch_save_foo.runnable), and then use cron to run that script on some ongoing basis (where I typically have a crontab per project where all cron'd events related to that project are kept).
The ability to easily develop/test/run scripts using your existing app's models/etc via runner (using the same exact calls you would/ could make in console) is one of the nicest built-in features of rails.
