Message "Insecure world writable dir ..."

[Harry Ohlsen]

When File.popen() is passed an executable whose path contains a world writable directory, it produces a warning message.

While I think this is a good idea, I have no control over the permissions on one such directory, and it's driving me nuts seeing the warning twenty times whenever I run that script.

Is there a way to disable the warning ... other than re-building the ruby executable without it?

Thanks in advance,

Harry O.

'-W0' if you're using 1.8; but I strongly recommend to fix the
permission problem.

Same here.

If you do not want to turn warnings completely off but get rid of this msg you can do something like

 $ alias shutup="sed -ne '/warning: Insecure world writable dir/d;p'"

and pipe the output. eg:

$ rake 2>&1 | shutup
$ mongrel_rails -B 2>&1 | shutup

It's dirty but I use it from time to time.
