I also forgot to ask, in SHELL, when I run shell scripts, I can see what the script is doing. I am not referring to debug mode but more the output of each command being executed. Is this possible with Ruby? For example, in shell, if I had a command `yum -y install package_name`, I am able to see all of the required packages being installed...pretty much, I can see the process of it all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
