I've got a Rakefile with a rake task that I would normally call from the commandline (rake blog:post Title). I'd like to write a ruby script that calls that rake task multiple times, but the only solution I see is shelling out (`` or system). What's the right way to do this?...

I have two machines... a development machine and a production machine. When I first brought my rails app onto the production server, I had no problem.

OK, I am trying to generate the rDoc for paperclip, but the rake task is choking on another plugin before it gets to it, so this is out of the question: rake doc:plugins I could go and fix up the broken plugin, but I'm busy and lazy, so I just want to generate the docs for paperclip. Is there any way of doing this? ...
