Hello,
I'm trying to use the "backgroundjob" rails thingy with jruby (which
uses a "systemu" library to #exec scripts). However, there's some
unexpected bahaviour and I'd like to know what's going on behind the
scenes...
At the moment, my problem is mainly this:
STDOUT.reopen('some.file')
exec 'jruby some_script_with_output'
if the script is a standard bash script, it will have it's stdout
written to 'some.file'. If it's a jruby script, it will go to the real
stdout (or nowhere at all). I wonder why this is - is the the jruby
instance reused, or used in the same VM and messed up the original
one? If so, is there a clean way to "exec" jruby code? I'd have
expected that the exec call would substitute the whole system, VM and
all (but then, how will the STDOUT handle be passed on).
Maybe someone can shed some light on the internals?
Ciao,
Daniel
