Rails - Feb 2007 - Console script in the crontab

I''m trying to run a console script from my crontab but I''m
getting a
console error.  It works fun when I run it from the command line.  I''m
guessing there''s an environment variable I need to set but what is it?
Anyone have any advice?

I''m calling it like this:
/Users/alex/links/script/console production < /Users/Alex/links/digg.rb

And getting this error:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require'': No such file to
load -- readline (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:218:in `require''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:218:in `load_modules''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:216:in `each''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:216:in `load_modules''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:21:in `setup''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:54:in `start''
        from /usr/bin/irb:13

look into script/runner.  It is meant to do these sorts of things...

So...

say you have RAILS_ROOT/lib/foo.rb:

class Foo
   def self.foobar
     #do your stuff here
   end
end

you could then do:

RAILS_ROOT/script/runner "Foo.foobar" -e production

What''s nice is that you can use any of your models class methods as 
well...
