Invoking an executable of /usr/bin from a Ruby script

[Florent2]

Hello,

I try to call "/usr/bin/openssl version" from a Ruby script, but without success. It does work from my shell:

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006

but running this Ruby script:

puts %x{"/usr/bin/openssl version"}

I get the error "sh: /usr/bin/openssl version: No such file or directory", even if I put "/usr/bin" in $:

$:.push("/usr/bin/")
puts %x{"/usr/bin/openssl version"}

Any clue? Thanks by advance

Florent

You don't need the quotes. This works for me:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
puts %x{openssl version}

Thank you devbanana! Without the quotes it works
