You could use a pipe on another file descriptor, setting it up when you spawn the executable. You could use a TCP or unix-domain socket to communicate, like any network process. Unix domain sockets are a tad more efficient, but even TCP on localhost is going to be able to pass a huge amount of traffic unless you're in a wacky VPS that does strange things to the lo device. You could even use named pipes in the filesystem -- use mkfifo, and open them for reading / writing in the appropriate process to pass data back and forth.
