Asp Forum - Rubyscript2exe and "extra" scripts

[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

I have a script that has been "compiled" using rubyscript2exe and that
script executes another script at various times. However the second script
isn't part of the main program as it needs to run independently. I can't
get the second script to run.

This is what I am trying:

ruby_path = RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir.gsub(/app[\/|\\]/, "bin/ruby.exe")
sd_script = "#{ruby_path} #{TEMP_DIR}shutdown.rb " +
Thread.current["today_by_time"]
system "start #{sd_script}"

Instead of running the shutdown script I get an explorer window. I was
hoping to do this without having to turn the shutdown.rb script into a
separate exe as they are kind of large.

Then I would say that partner should have passed 3D. Lacking a specific agreement (like 2/1 game forcing, etc.) the sequence 1S-2D, 3C-3D shows a hand that really does not like Spades or Clubs and is only good for Diamonds (at this point). Partner has shown 5 Spades and 4 Clubs (at least) and nearly game forcing strength; however, your hand is a real misfit. Goren suggested that even the whiff of a misfit is a signal to pass. Misfits do not generally play well in NT either.

Neither do I, but the opening hand is too good to pass. So you temporise with 2C.

There's still a strong case for responding 1NT. Your hand isn't really
strong enough for a 2-level response, especially in view of your void in
partner's suit.

I'm not sure about the suggested 2C rebid, though, as if it's
purportedly natural then it could lead to playing in a 4-3 or even 3-3
club fit. If you are playing 5-card majors, then passing 1NT may be
best.

You don't have to play it as forcing to bid again. But the forcing 1NT response played properly can be very useful in partscore auctions which are very common, and it isn't difficult to learn and integrate into standard methods if you don't want to go the whole 2/1 game forcing way.

Sorry, I don't think 1S-2D-3C-3D is passable. 3C really should be GF. Because of that, I completely disagree that 3D shows a hand that is "only good for diamonds".

But **North** has no reason to believe the hand is a misfit. Since 1S-2D-3C is a strong bid, South could bid 3D with a hand of any strength, including one that intends to drive to slam.

That's my view. Our auction would go 1S-1NT-end.
