Setting Environmental Variables in Ruby script

jackster the jackle

I have a scipt that executes a shell command that requires my
environment to be set so the script fails. Is there a way to add my
profile settings into my ruby script?

Thanks

we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of being
better. simply reflect on that.

Thanks Sebastian...my ruby script takes all the variables without error
but my script still fails so I must be missing something in my
environment still. I'll have to do some more checking....thanks again
