No, jruby executable is call jruby!

Just unarchive the last jruby distrib and add the bin/jruby to your
PATH. Then you can use either old ruby or new jruby as you like.

You also can start your jruby script with the firt line:
#!/usr/bin/env jruby
as any standard unix script.

If you alreadu have some (non gui) ruby script, you
can just replace "ruby" by "jruby" is the first line
and see by your self the performance.

(but jruby is still a litle slower than ruby at startup time, because
of the JVM)
