Hi everyone,

I have 2 scripts (dbload.rb and import_people.rb) that I want to
include in a rake task.  How can I run an external script in a rake
task?  Do I have to shell out to do it?  Or should I just make those
scripts rake tasks?  For this dev environment, that might not be a bad
thing.

task :cleandb => [:db_schema_import] do
  # Run script/dbload.rb
  # Run script/import_people.rb
end

This is in a Rails environment, but I don't think it's a Rails
specific question, so I'm posting here.

Thank you!

Sean
