Ruby

i’m trying to script administrative tasks in windows and i’m really
not feeling the ruby love, does anyone have some suggestions on a way
of running commands and catching STDERR in windows?

Try:

  1. win32-open3 gem
  2. use Kernel#system or `` (backticks) and redirect output to a file
    or pipe. Windows from 2000 up supports stderr
    redirection ( command 2> err.txt )

thanks, thats giving me the io objects back.

when i run this in production it seems to die while trying to read
from the Output IO object, if its

io_in, io_out, io_err = Open3.popen(‘some command with parameters’)

out = io_out.read (hangs here forever if the command should have worked)
