RubyRunner has been replaced by the more capable ScrUITools. "ScrUI" stands for Script User Interface, and is pronounced "screwy". :) Currently, there are two tools: ScrUIRunner and ScrUIActivator. ScrUIRunner replaces RubyRunner, but it allows you to specify the working directory, command line arguments, and shell environment variables for the script (...added specifically for you, Torsten) ;). ScrUIActivator activates the UI of a script that is already running, so you can run the script normally from a terminal window if you need standard input.
