Subprocesses
Process functions create/operate on a PID (instead of an object representing the process, like python).
Backticks
`ls -la | grep foo` puts "exit code is 0" if $?.successSpawn
pid = Process.spawn(['ls', '-la']) puts pid # 123456 Process.wait pidManipulating STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR.
# STDIN from file Process.spawn("/usr/bin/cat", in: File.open("/home/you/.zshrc", "r")) # STDIN from string r_pipe, w_pipe = IO.pipe w_pipe.write("a\nb\nc") w_pipe.close Process.spawn("/usr/bin/cat", in: r_pipe) r_pipe.close
Fork
Fork allows you to run ruby code in a separate process.
pid = Process.fork do puts "child, pid #{Process.pid} sleeping..." sleep 5 puts "child exiting" end Process.wait pid
