Feature: Multiple scheduler files

[cjba7]

As title states, ability to use multiple scheduler files. Perhaps look for a schedule folder and load everything in it as schedule tasks?

p.s. I have tried looking for some time on SO and in the Issues here if it is supported but to no avail - apologies if it does.

I'm interested in this too. Our config/schedule.rb is over 500 lines long.

I tried the naive approach of requireing code from a separate file but it doesn't work.

I've found this workaround works for now: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16385259/119822

know this is an ongoing but we've used the option -i to solve this problem.

So is this still an issue with the proposed workaround? Similar techniques are also used when splitting large Gemfile or routes.rb with no problems.

We can implement something like

# config/schedule.rb
# ...
# Load reporting schedules
import "config/schedule/reporting_schedule"

# or just (assuming some default dir to read from)
import "reporting_schedule"

but this is not much simpler than

# config/schedule.rb
# ...
# Load reporting schedules
instance_eval(File.read('reporting_schedule.rb'), 'reporting_schedule.rb')

Maybe just a note to README would be enough?
