Rails - Oct 2008 - where is the difference between >system "script/myscript"< and >script/myscript< (via shell) ?

hallo everybody,

i''ve searched the web for quite some time now, but didn''t find
an
answer to this question (and thus no solution to my problem).

explanation:
i wrote a script to start a DRb-server on a rails-app. what i want to
achieve is to run this script from another application (on the same
machine). everything is working perfectly when i start myscript from a
shell and enter "script/myscript" (without quotes). but when i call it
from my other application like this: system "#{path}/script/myscript"
my tests are failing...

of course there is the obvious difference in ENV[''_''], but
even
changing this manually wouldn''t help. i''m looking for a way to
get a
"clean" call. (just like from shell)

any ideas?

thanks in advance
dominik

current working directory is one obvious difference that does screw up  
some things.
