Great, just had a look at this, looks like just the ticket. So I take it I need to run this from the rails app directory? Where should I put the scripts, vendor maybe? There is at least one class (regarding screen scraping) that wont be needed from within ruby, where should I put this (currently everything is in a module called scrape so I would put it in the ruby app under lib/scrape, or I could have a lib under vendor. What would be best proactive.
