Subject: [ruby-talk:17343] UNIX Sockets

Hello!

I never did Socket stuff in C before.
I was wondering whether it is normal or not, that the following code can
only be executed once:



require 'socket'

$path= "/tmp/ruby-socket-file"

sThread = Thread.start{
  sock = UNIXServer.open($path)
  s1 = sock.accept
  p s1.recvfrom(124)
}

client = UNIXSocket.open($path);
client.send("hello",0)
client.close

sThread.join


First time I execute it:

["hello", ["AF_UNIX", "\277\277\316b\030("]]

Second time I try it:

socket.rb:11:in `open': Connection refused - "/tmp/ruby-socket-file"
(Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
        from socket.rb:11

Is this normal behavior? How can I solve this?

thanks
  manu
