Hi,

I tried this:

pipe=IO.popen("hang.exe")
io=select([pipe],nil,nil,10) #10 - timeout
if io==nil
   puts "DEAD"
end

with hang.exe a process that just hangs.
It doesn't seem that the process is launched at all, and it goes on 
without waiting.

Basically I just need to parse an executable output line by line and 
trigger an exception if I don't get any line after a certain amount of 
time.
