Nice, although it's not available in 1.8.

I think the other important part about this subject is #6648: ability to retrieve VM flags, which would allow to relaunch the interpreter the same way (full path to the binary + arguments/flags).

Currently, I work around it by using `ps -o args -p pid` and GetCommandLineA(), which is far from optimal when we know it's so easily accessible for the VM (argc/args).

Hello all.  I couldn't remember if this had been requested before or not but...

It would be kind to be able to do:
current_ruby = OS.ruby_bin
system("#{current_ruby} another_file.rb")

And thus guarantee execution of a sub-file using the same ruby executable.

Today we have
system("#{Gem.ruby} another_file.rb")

but I'd like to have something available without loading full rubygems.

Python equivalent: sys.executable

Suggestion:
>> OS.ruby_bin # or OS.executable, etc.
=> "C:/installs/Ruby193p194/bin/ruby.exe"
or
>> RbConfig.???
=> "C:/installs/Ruby193p194/bin/ruby.exe"

Thanks.
