Well in a Unix Shell this would probably do it, as would a for loop with a bit
of change:

find /directory -name "*.js" -type f -exec jsmin.rb {} \;


In Ruby, I would suggest using ether the Find class or the Filescan gem. You
can use it to recurse through the directory and then have the ruby script
execute jsmin.rb with the file name as an argument.
