I should have worded this much differently. At this point I'm forgetting about the browser. I know ruby, but don't have a lot of command line/IO experience with it. So my question should have been more related to the IO class. To be more specific, how can do you mange commands, command status results (successful, failed?) . The basic flow would be, su to some other user, if password OK, proceed to next command, display error, etc.. Feel like showing me a skeleton script that could do something like that? :) I've been messing with IO.popen, Kernel.system tonight and getting some results. Thanks again.
