Ruby on Rails

Inside the controller the ruby script is run with  the **exec** command.

     script_exec = exec("ruby /Code/AttendanceReport/attn/bin/scripts/Spreadsheet_proper.rb '#{city}' '#{date1}' '#{date2}'")

The above approach kills the rails server and doesn't execute the ruby script. And hence I used

     script_exec = %x{ruby /Code/AttendanceReport/attn/bin/scripts/Spreadsheet_proper.rb '#{city}' '#{date1}' '#{date2}' }

     

          script_exec = system("ruby /Code/AttendanceReport/attn/bin/scripts/Spreadsheet_proper.rb '#{city}' '#{date1}' '#{date2}'")

The above **%x** and **system** approaches also fail when run rails server is started with -d. But it does work when the rails server is normally.
