I am having a hard time solving this issue and I'm sure you guys know
how to treat that very easily!
I've got a "bot" on one side which runs :
class Bot
def self.start
loop do
input = gets # Get a user input from STDIN
# do some stuff with the input!
end
end
Bot:start
end
And on the other side, I've got a Rails application. I want to "plug"
the bot to this rails application, in such a way that the inputs are
coming from the Rails application, and not from STDIN.
I guess that it doesn't change anything that my "client" is a rails app,
but I mentionned it in case it's bad in any way Also, the
communication is just "one-way"; there is no need for the bot to return
anything to the client!

Have you considered using xml-rpc? Ruby includes a library for that.
It has its pros and cons, but overall it may be good enough.

we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of being better. simply reflect on that.

It also is pretty simple to send jms message using jruby to the rails app. I have a bunch of rails apps communicating to servers using jms and it is robust and scalable. But this code is not very pretty.

Both applications are on the same machine, so I am not sure I need to go
over the network with XML RPC, I would lose a lot performance wise,
don't you think?
Initially, I tried with Pipes, but I could not find my way with this...
Thanks for your help, anyway.
Anyone else?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but popen will "fork" the current process and
run bot.rb in the child.
Actually, here, the bot is already "running" and doing some "other
stuff" that do not require inputs!
Thanks anyway!
