Server/Client are the same box. Creating a UI to run ruby test scripts locally.

I want something like executing an ActiveXObject:

 w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
 w.run('test.rb');

File structure is as follows

>Project
 -index.HTML
 -custom.js
 >Scripts
 -Ruby Script

Assuming ruby is installed in the system and is included in the PATH variable. All you need to do is:

var w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
w.run('ruby Scripts\\test.rb');

Making some progress here - although what happens now is a Ruby terminal is briefly opened and closed, but nothing else happens.
