I do something easier exec("ruby a.rb | ps 1>logFile") and next grep the file for a ruby process. And now born another problem if I running directly with ruby like name$ ruby file.rb and in the file I have the information but move it into a rails files doesn t work. Any suggest?? thanks to all have a nice day Joksy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
