From: treefrog Date: 2005-07-15T22:05:52+09:00 Subject: Rails: Session and IO Hi, I want to use Gnuplot as part of a Rails application to generate data plots from a large database and filtering software via a web front-end. The problem is that Gnuplot is fairly slow to start up, but I can't keep it up via a session variable because IO won't serialize. Any ideas regards, treefrog
