Subprocesses
Process functions create/operate on a PID (instead of an object representing the process, like python).
`ls -la | grep foo`
puts "exit code is 0" if $?.success
pid = Process.spawn(['ls', '-la'])
puts pid # 123456
Process.wait pid
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
