Subject: Is anyone using Ruby for 24/7 financial applications?

I know a lot of people are using ruby on rails for web apps, usually with
Apache as the underlying app, but I don't know of anyone using ruby itself
for a 24/7 application.  Yes, some people are using webrick as their web
server but they don't necessarily lose $$$ if their personal web site goes
down.

I'm trying to talk my company into using ruby in a remote environment (a
merchant's store) where it has to be solidly up 24/7 or the merchant will
stop using our product.  We should be able to SSH to the box if we need to
but we'd rather not need to.  While I have confidence that ruby can run in
that environment, management would like to hear that someone else is already
using it for a similar purpose.  Are they?

thanks,
JB
