Hello,
I'm really new for rails and I know that this is not the first time about this question, but please, I really need your helps. I've tried to executed the unix command via rails using exec() and system() but didn't work. Could anybody please suggest me how to execute unix command (I'd like to run a shell script) and get it's result to display in the view. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

try this:
puts %x[pwd]
puts `whoami`
Here is an article with a few explained methods on how to run shell commands.
If you don't need advanced stuff, backticks (as you see above) are the best way to run shell commands and get the output (STDOUT).
