Dave, Thanks for the pointer. Somehow, I missed the VM part. I will investigate. I am on the road today whole day. Will try this tomorrow (Wednesday ) and report back.
Regards,

Hi,
I am trying to trigger a ruby script from within Squeak. I loaded
OSProcess
but none of the examples are working. Are there any pointers on how to
use
OSProcess correctly.
I am using a 3.8 stable version.
Hello Prashanth,
You can find some general information here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/708
OSProcess requires a special plugin for the VM. If OSProcess is not working, it is possible that the VM you are running does not contain this support. Can you say what operating system you are using, and if possible what VM?
I will mention also that if you want to interact with a ruby script from Squeak through pipes (in other words, read and write the standard input and output streams from the ruby program), then you will also want to load package CommandShell and use the class PipeableOSProcess.
