[mesa-users] MesaScript/Ruby - problem with an automated execution of MESA

[Jakub Ostrowski]

Thank you for the suggestions. While trying them I realised that MESA stopped not the Ruby but I haven’t spotted it (many times!) due to a lot of errors printed by Ruby’s interpreter. When it was fixed the script worked perfectly.

So I’m sorry guys for bothering you with basically non-existing problem. Shame on me.

Cheers,
Jakub
