## Email is who gets the report, access_type is the command used to access the remote boxes - usally ssh.

Jobs with the Play! Framework and Heroku

First thing, create a job that runs your task. Don't set a timer or anything on it, we will trigger it manually.

You will need to add two things to your app. First is an endpoint that uses authorization (for your security) to trigger the job in the background. Something like this will do it:

public class JobEndpoint extends Controller{ 
    public static void runTheJob(){ 
        if( "jobuser".equals(request.username) && "jobpass".equals(request.password) ){ 

new WhateverYourJobClassIs().now();

Forward

I have been using the term "Viking Coder" for a several years now. Honestly, it was a "equal and opposite" reaction to the rise of the Rockstar Ninja Samurai whatever in job descriptions. I don't play a guitar or dress in black PJ's. I am a tall person, and I like big, simple solutions to problems. And I am least a little bit Scandinavian.

I wanted to open this up, so steal, pull, push away!

Thus the Viking Coder was born.

The Viking coder is also a response to many of the Agile practices out there. We mean to strip the nonessential bits of cruft away and expose the naked goodness of what we have learned over the last few decades.

# Tested on a mac with bash shell.

# This script will fix the dreaded "Another copy of Skype is running"

#First let's try and determine what PID Skype thinks is running and kill it, just in case

SKYPE_PID=`cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Skype/Skype.pid`
kill -9 $SKYPE_PID
