Hi, I have three scripts in my rails application under “script” directory. I am running those scripts one by one with command “ruby runner test1.rb” “ruby runner test2.rb”, “ruby runner test3.rb”. I want to create one more script, which will invoke these commands and run one by one. Is that possible in ror? Thanks, Tushar ---
