Using the rails configuration outside rails

Rails
1

I have a ruby class that will be used sometimes from within rails, and
sometimes from without (not in the context of a running rails
application).
It will reference models within the rails app, and It may be run
manually,
or may be scheduled via Cron (though I may look at RailsCron as well).
I’ve
seen help on the Wiki for using models outside of Rails (like this
articlehttp://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseActiveRecordOutsideRails),
but I’d rather not repeat my database configuration. Is there a better
way
to do this?

ENV[‘RAILS_ENV’] = ARGV.first || ‘development’
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/…/config/boot’
require RAILS_ROOT + ‘/config/environment’

I am using this few lines to load the Rails environment. After that
code, you have a full functional rails environment. You can specify
‘production’ or ‘development’ mode as the first argument passed to the
script. Don’t forget to adjust the relative path in line 2 to your
needs.

That worked perfectly. Thanks.
