You can't pass arbitrary arguments to the rspec command, but you can set an environment variable like this: SLEEP=10 rspec test.rb Then within the script, the value of ENV["SLEEP"] is "10", so you can say: sleep(ENV["SLEEP"].to_f) HTH, David _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
