If by 'window service' you mean the program starts when you turn on your desktop...

....put the ruby.rb file into your Start menu's Startup folder. Yes it will open
a little window. You can use rubyw.exe to fix that.

A true "windows service" is like a daemon. You run in a special place with
limited facilities, and it's generally no picnic for a beginner. I have run many
desktop apps from the Startup menu, including a lite Ruby wiki for my PIM, and I
never had any issue with it...

You can run any command as if run in a command line using the system
method, like this:

system('command to run')

Have a look at win32-service gem

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/win32-service/

If you want to create a service that is written in ruby, then code
sample there is horribly outdated and you will need to read source code
and comments to understand how to do it in the new style. But if you
want to start/stop/restart some other service, then it works just like
on that page. Have a look.
