What do you expect ? Is it supposed to give you some text on its stdout ? Does it work in the case where your programme is instead writing to a file ? Can it be a matter of finding the programme ? What if you specify the complete name of ruby, such as /usr/bin/ruby ? Is the programme's arguments sensitive to the default directory (relative filenames) in a way that can make it fail ? etc...

And does it work if you put it inside a simple bash script?
