I'd create a shell script on your server(s) to do this.

edit ~/scheduled-tasks/my-scheduled-task-name
##########
#!/bin/sh
# change directory
export RAILS_ENV=production
cd ~/path/to/rails/app
ruby scipt/runner "Class.method"
#########

chmod +x ~/scheduled-tasks/my-scheduled-task-name

crontab entry:

* 5 * * * $HOME/scheduled-tasks/my-scheduled-task-name

Something along those lines should work.
