Hi

Can anybody recommend an open source software which uses drb? It would
be interesting to see how other people have solved their problems with
drb... (or other similar protocols).

Thanks!

I use drb in KirbyBase (http://netpromi.com/kirbybase_ruby.html\) to allow it to work in client/server mode.

ruby queue use a local drb server to do fork/exec jobs in another process.
this allows a pseudo-fork to occur in the middle of an sqlite transaction -
which is otherwise not allowed.
