Subject: Help with socket method in rails controller

I'm trying to write a method in a controller to write to a socket, I'm
kinda stumped right now.
Here's my code:
def socketwriter
  require "socket"
  s=TCPSocket.new("ip","port")
  s.write ("arguments|I|want|to|send|")
end

so if I just write this as a ruby script and code in the ip, port,
arguments, etc. it works great. I'm trying to figure out how to post to

this method in rails. I have a database that contains all the
information I need for the socket parameters and the commands to send,
I just need a little help on how to post them to the controller.

Thanks for any help.
