Because it needs to be talked about, and implemented. If I was to implement it, I would use Unix sockets. But I'm not the one doing it (at least not yet), so it's really up to the person who's going to take this on. If somebody wants to use IPC or whatever, it's fine by me. I would think all the solutions for this would be fine, as long as we end up with readable and simple code. (Somebody fancy doing this on top of CORBA ? ;) -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
