Put this in a file called tweet.rb, then call as follows: ruby tweet.rb username "my tweet" Or you can include your password in the command like so ruby twit.rb username:password "my tweet" (note that this is hugely insecure as your password will wind up in your .history, not to mention being visible to shouldersurfers).
