Ok, good idea. How would the script use the environment-dependent connection settings and a couple of rb files that exist in the merb app?
Secondly, I'm running on JRuby in windows. JRuby takes a few seconds to start up on windows, and it hogs the cpu while it initialises. Presumably a ruby script set up to run periodically (on some sort of schedule equivalent to cron) would cause this cpu load every time it ran? If so then this solution would not be viable.
