Hi,

How do I disable warning output in Ruby? The servers at work use ruby  
1.8.2,  
which gives no warning when running some rake / rails scripts. If I  
rsync /  
copy those scripts to my ruby 1.8.4 machine and run them there, I get  
loads of  
warnings.

I don’t want to downgrade my beloved Ruby, can anyone tell me how I can  
simply  
disable those warnings at run-time?

Thanks
