Hello all,
Had an odd idea: shared library service...
Executables placed in,say, /lib/shsvc, would be executed with pipes
redirected to a mounted service (for now /n/shsvc).
The file server at /n/shvc simply has files for each library loaded. An
application that wishes to use the service
can simply open a file handle to /n/shvc/library & simply read/write to the
library file using a FastCGI/SCGI like
protocol. The file service could do some simple checks on the data (making
sure it's actually protocol data, &c),
and handle if a 'library' puked while working. This may not make as much
sense as I thought, since I am writing
this after only two hours sleep...
Cheers,
--Stefan
