See the various Kernel methods, such as system:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M002992

"Executes cmd in a subshell, returning true if the command was found and 
ran successfully, false otherwise. An error status is available in $?. 
The arguments are processed in the same way as for Kernel::exec."
