troubleshooting the 'system' call

I was tyring to do a system call using sudo, like this:

system("sudo /some/dir/somewhere/rubyprog.rb","opt1", "opt2")

but it kept giving me the wrong answer....always false. After some
head knocking, I realized that this is more appropriate:

system("sudo","/some/dir/somewhere/rubyprog.rb","opt1", "opt2")


because the COMMAND is 'sudo' and the ruby program becomes the
argument to sudo.

I realize that the docs say this fairly explicitly, but sheesh! :)

I love these two guys......not only do they not usually know what they're talking
about, but they're going to be such fun in November 2008 when we recall some of their
more humourous comments in these newsgroups.....AAC

9/11 "trifecta" cracks you up, though.
