Hi,
My code looks similar to following:

--------------------------------------------
def someFunction()
#do telnet connection
#execute binary file which throws on std its output endlessly
end

tr = Thread.new() { someFunction() }

while true
   #
   # sth to done ....
   #
   # and show tr status

   puts "Status tr: #{tr.status}"
end
--------------------------------------------


someFunction executes telnet command which executes an application which
throws debug messages on output - this output is continually writes to a
file. Summary: telnet command never ends ( I hope so ).
In main thread in each iteration of while loop I've tried to puts tr
status but each time it notifies that tr.status => sleep

Can anybody explain me what is wrong or explain me what Thread#status
statuses means?

Thanks in advance.
