Adapted from Ryan Bates:

application_controller.rb

def call_rake(task, os, options = {})
  options[:rails_env] ||= Rails.env
  args = options.map { |n, v| "#{n.to_s.upcase}='#{v}'" }
  system "/usr/bin/rake #{task} #{args.join(' ')} --trace 2>&1 >>
#{Rails.root}/log/rake.log &" if os == 'linux'
  system "START rake.bat #{task} #{args.join(' ')} --trace" if os ==
'windows'
end

special_raketasks_controller.rb

def rake_espn_results
  Rails.env == 'development' ? (call_rake :espn_results, 'windows') :
(call_rake :espn_results, 'linux')
  flash[:notice] = "ESPN Results/Schedules running."
  redirect_to raketasks_url
end

In my view I click the manual rake task and if the rails environment is
in development it opens up a dos window (I develop on windows) and runs
the task so I can view it.  If it's in production then I'm on linux and
it runs the task in production.

What I'd like to do is change the output from posting to a log file and
instead posting to a text field on the same index page.

Any thoughts on what I might need to do in order to accomplish this?

Thanks.
