Ruby starting / stopping a windows service?

Rails
1

Hello,
I was wondering if it were possible for a Ruby on Rails program (I’m
running with InstantRails 1.6) to start and stop a windows service.
Pretty much, I’d want to write a Ruby script that would run every so
often, perhaps once or twice a day. My boss would like it to run as a
windows service on Server 2003… Anybody have an idea or have any
pointers on this?

Thanks,
