Setting Environmental Variables in Ruby script

[jackster the jackle]

I have a scipt that executes a shell command that requires my
environment to be set so the script fails. Is there a way to add my
profile settings into my ruby script?

Thanks

ENV["varname"] = "value"

Thanks Sebastian...my ruby script takes all the variables without error
but my script still fails so I must be missing something in my
environment still. I'll have to do some more checking....thanks again
