I am calling a model from cron using script/runner. My call looks like  
this :

/usr/local/bin/ruby script/runner -e production  
“ProfileBox.updateProfileBoxes”

I need to be able to pass parameters to this model. Something like  
this :

/usr/local/bin/ruby script/runner -e production  
“ProfileBox.updateProfileBoxes” param1 param2

How can I pass parameters to this model?
