You could set up a DRb server in IRB and make "toruby" an DRb client 
that sends data off to the server.  In any case you have solve the 
problem how toruby knows *which* IRB to talk to.  Either you allow just 
one IRB session on your system *or* you have to provide toruby with some 
kind of input that shows him the way (env var, command line arg).

Personally I don't feel that this is very useful.  There is `` and %x{} 
as was shown already.  And for finding files there is Dir[] and 
Find.find which both work without any external process.

Kind regards
