This is not strictly a Ruby question. It's a *nix question. The answers 
already provided are sufficient, however:

A simple `ruby myscript.rb &` would also suffice, although process 
control would then be more difficult.

The more complete and general way to handle such processes in the *nix 
world is the use of an init-like, like initd, runit or OS X's launchd.
