I can execute rails-commands in production (FreeBSD 10) as long as Spring is disabled:
# DISABLE_SPRING=1 bin/rails runner -e production 'p "test"'
"test"
# script/rails runner -e production 'p "test"'
"test"
With Spring, the rails-command fails with the following error:
# bin/rails runner -e production 'p "test"'

So far, I verified that the according files in /tmp/spring exist as expected.
What could be the cause of this error and how can I achieve a correctly working Spring?
UPDATE 1
Here is an outline of several checks I did so far.

I was able to resolve the problem by changing the users login shell to bash (before, it was set to zsh) and adding this PATH to ~/.profile: PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$GEM_HOME/wrappers:$PATH
To ensure only RVM's ruby is being used, I also forcefully removed the system ruby (1.9.3): pkg remove -f ruby
(Note: Without the PATH setting mentioned above, this now causes the expected error env: ruby: No such file or directory)
It appears a killall ruby was necessary in order for the changes to take effect.
Maybe a bin/spring stop would've been sufficient too.
