Hi,

I’m using Fedora Core 5 Linux with the latest version of Ruby on  
Rails. I’m just learning it, but let’s say I’ve created two rails  
applications in the directories

application1/  
application2/

I can “cd” to application1 and run “ruby script/server” to start that  
application. But then must I do this for “application2” as well? Is  
there a generic way of starting all ruby-on-rails applications at  
once?

Thanks, - Dave

Dear Dave,

You have posted to the ruby-talk mailing list. This is for Ruby  
specific  
issues. Your question is related directly to the implementation of Ruby  
on  
Rails.

I would suggest you go to [www.railsforum.com](http://www.railsforum.com) and ask your question there  
in  
the “Setup” forums or look at the tutorials there.
