From: vhaerun vh Date: 2009-09-07T16:38:38+09:00 Subject: Executing system commands in threads under Ruby 1.8.6 I tried to write a script that makes use of external binaries. Each external binary is called from a different thread, but, under 1.8.6, this doesn't seem to work. Everything is executing in a sequential-like manner. The guys from StackOverflow said this was because of Ruby's thread implementation ( and when I tried the same code under JRuby, it worked ). Is there some way to make my script work under 1.8.6, or is upgrading to 1.9 the only solution? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
