Ruby Process Monitor?

Is there some easy way to monitor processes in linux or solaris using ruby? I'm trying to put together a system monitor tool that watches drives,
processes, and general PC health, but I can't find a good way to get notification of when a process starts. Under linux, I've tried using inotify
and FAM to monitor the /proc filesystem, but neither system gets notification of a new process starting (which I think is strange in itself). Does
anyone know how to do this?

PS, sorry if this lacks a subject; I'm not very good with sendmail...
