Assuming you do really mean a ruby script, and nothing in your Rails app, you can set the setuid bit with chmod and chown the script to root. When it executes, it will execute with root persmissions. Given you've not been able to find this information yourself, I'd again caution you not to do this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
