How to encrypt Ruby script..

For simple cases I use

openssl des3 -salt -in $SOURCE -out $DEST

where $SOURCE is the name of the file I want to encrypt and $DEST is the name of the file the encrypted data will be written to.

Why would it run? It's no longer a Ruby file, it's *encrypted*!

Drip-feeding information like this is very frustrating.

Ruby does not have an "encrypted mode"

You asked "Can any one tell me how to encrypt one ruby script", you got the answer to your question

Describe the problem you are trying to solve rather than making things up (such as encrypted mode ruby)

Puts the RHCE certificate in perspective if you didn't know what the openssl command was going to do to the source file
