I could generate a second /bin/sh script to run "ruby .../webrick.rb" This would assume that 'ruby' was in the user's $PATH, but that seems like a reasonable expectation. The drawback is that we'd be generating TWO scripts, one ruby script to invoke the server, and one shell script to run the ruby script. This seems a little ... circuitous. Another idea is to hack the $httpd variable to contain a command string like "ruby .../webrick.rb", with the drawback then being a lack of obviousness, since the convention is that the variable contains the same command as the --httpd argument, and is named the same as the <webserver>_conf() functions.
