Interprocess Communication Windows?

Ruby

What is the best way to do interprocess communication under windows?

I’ve tried:

  • Process Signals, but trapping them doesn’t work

  • Win32::Event but in the second Process i doesn’t get the handle

Can somebody point me in the right direction and give me some examples?

thx

there’s always the old hack of binding and connecting to localhost :slight_smile:

Another, not so technically advanced solution will be use DRb as
exchange mechanism…

Of course, if both sides are implemented by you :slight_smile:

Also, it is cross platform.

Using DRb now, seems to fit my purpose. Thanks!
