Have you looked at using JHS as an part of the equation? The JHS could also write a file and be the only one writing to the file/log.
Others could either communicate with the Controlling JHS (CJHS) or read the files produces by the CJHS. Then you would be using both files and sockets. The CJHS could use a specific port and it needs not be on the same machine as the others. 2012/1/9 Ian Clark <earthspo...@gmail.com> > ...Or you can ditch my simple scheme and use sockets. :) > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
