Is it possible to run a ruby application as a Windows Service? I see that there is a related question which discusses running a Java Application as a Windows Service, how can you do this with a Ruby application?

Open a command line window and navigate to your Ruby scripts directory using the cd command. Once there, you can list files, using the dir command on Windows or the ls command on Linux or OS X. Your Ruby files will all have the . rb file extension.
Check out the following library: Win32Utils. You can create a simple service that you can start/stop/restart at your leisure. I'm currently using it to manage a Mongrel instance for a Windows hosted Rails app and it works flawlessly.
