How to optimize my ruby code

I am writing a script to get the process image in unix through ssh, then
insert the record to database. As I am a new ruby user, I think my
method is quite stupid and I would like to know if you can make my code
prettier. Thanks.

Below is the ps image in my unix server (command : ps auxww)
USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND
\n
testrrs1 2429158 0.0 0.0 15588 15624 - A 13:27:12 0:00 java
lis.rpt.PostPrtMain /appl/lis/home2/testrrs1/config/PPRT_3.att \n
testlib 2425018 0.0 0.0 3052 4772 - A May 29 0:00
/appl/lis/home/lib/test/work/rls_server -i/appl/lis/home/lib/test/w \n

====start of script===
require "rubygems"
$LOADED_FEATURES[$LOADED_FEATURES.length] =
'net/ssh/authentication/pageant.rb'
require 'net/ssh'
require "active_record"
$config = YAML.load_file(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),
'database.yml'))

ssh=Net::SSH.start("hostname", "account",

ort => 12345,

aranoid =>
false, :auth_methods => ["publickey"],

assphrase => "testing", :keys
=> ["C:/testing/id_rsa"])

ps=ssh.exec!("ps auxww | head -30")
ssh.close

ps=ps.to_a
for idx in (0...ps.length)
next if idx==0 #skip the header
ps_user=ps[idx].split[0]
ps_pid=ps[idx].split[1]
ps_cpu=ps[idx].split[2]
ps_mem=ps[idx].split[3]
ps_sz=ps[idx].split[4]
ps_rss=ps[idx].split[5]
ps_tty=ps[idx].split[6]
ps_stat=ps[idx].split[7]

# The STIME field may equal to May 29 or 13:27:12, and the COMMAND
has unknown number of space.
if (ps[idx].split[8].include?(":"))
ps_stime=ps[idx].split[8]
ps_cmd=ps[idx].split[9]+" "+ps[idx].split[10]+" "+ ... +
ps[idx].split[ps[idx].length]
else
ps_stime=ps[idx].split[8]+" "+ps[idx].split[9]
ps_cmd=ps[idx].split[10]+" "+ps[idx].split[11]+" "+ ... +
ps[idx].split[ps[idx].length]
end

MyTable.create(

s_user => ps_user,

s_pid => ps_pid, ...SKIP...

s_cmd => ps_cmd)

end

====end of script===

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

This is fine since you use idx later on to skip the first line, although
an alternative is

ps.to_a.each_with_index do |line, idx|

user, pid, cpu, mem, sz, rss, tty, stat, *rest = line.split

if rest[0].include?(":")
stime, cmd = rest[0], rest[1..-1].join(" ")
else
stime, cmd = rest[0]+" "+rest[1], rest[2..-1].join(" ")
end

But a shorter (and still very efficient) way is to write a big Regexp
for matching all this:

PS_LINE = %r{^
(\S+) \s+ # user
(\S+) \s+ # pid
(\S+) \s+ # cpu
(\S+) \s+ # mem
(\S+) \s+ # sz
(\S+) \s+ # rss
(\S+) \s+ # tty
(\S+) \s+ # stat
(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d | \w\w\w\s\d\d) \s+ # stime
(.*) # cmd
$}x

ps.each_line do |line|
if PS_LINE =~ line
MyTable.create(

s_user => $1,

s_pid => $2, ...SKIP...

s_cmd => $10)
end
end

The 'x' flag to a Regexp lets you embed spaces and comments to make it
more readable. You can tweak it to match the data more precisely, e.g.
use (\d+) instead of (\S+) to match the pid, so that any unexpected
lines are ignored.

Thank you for your clear explanation. I think I learned a great lesson.
