Sadly, Facebook changed their login mechanism to subvert attempts at automated login like this. I'm sure there's a way around it, but haven't played with it much yet. http://shanti.railsblog.com/fsx-trader-broken-due-to-facebook-login-changes If you figure out a way to automate Facebook logins using ruby, drop me a line & I'll update some posts. shantibraford @ gmail Cheers!

I could most likely run it on my Mac as that's (some form of) BSD but its a laptop! Much rather run it on my server. Will Rails understand the script? Thanks :)
