You wouldn't use Rails for scripts, you would just use a regular .rb file and write your script inside there.

Rails is framework for web developing that's build using Ruby.
If you want to use normal scripts you'll be going for normal Ruby not Rails.
I use Ruby for simple scripts when I'm messing around, but my current time is mostly devoted to learning Sinatra with all it's adds (activerecord mainly), once I'm done with Sinatra I'll be moving to using Ruby for sysadmin jobs (which I have no idea about right now), think it's where you'll heavily use Ruby scripts to interact with the system.

Actually is possible to use a rails application embedded into a program/script. This is called rails-engine. Lot of gem's use a rails engine to achieve all kind all tasks, and get advantage of rails components like active-records, you can look at "metasploit-data-models" gem which is part of the MSF, and i use in mys scripts to get access to msf models.
