Actually, after some more playing around I've finally got something
working! Well, not exactly, but I'm able to communicate through OSA
instead of appscript (and to be honest, I know very little about this
appscript gem and it's been deprecated anyway, so it's probably for the
best that I rewr
Thanks again, Scott. That makes a lot of sense. I've set

Fair enough, but I was looking for more of a high level guidance rather
than solving my problem specifically. I guess my question is in general
is it possible for Rails code running in nginx (running as root) to
