The difference between them is that script/runner boots Rails whereas a Rake task doesn't unless you tell it to by making the task depend on :environment, like this:
task :some_useful_task => :environment do # do some useful task end Since booting Rails is expensive, it might be worth skipping if you can avoid it. Other than that, they are roughly equivalent. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
