I don't mean a multi-user server; I mean multiple instances of the server, one per user. Thus on my workstation "jcowan" runs one server, which takes requests only from processes that can prove they are jcowan by presenting the secret stored in /home/jcowan/.railgun/secret; "root" runs another server, which correspondingly insists on being handed the secret from /root/.railgun/secret. Other users that run processes could have their own servers as needed. > > If JRuby command-line tools are to be integrated into the regular > > command-line ecology, where we don't have to care what language a > > program is written in, then I'd expect to run a personal ng-server > > from login to logout. > > or in other words... give the user complete control and let him start > the server as he likes. Sure. I just wanted to debunk the notion that users would typically keep railgun servers running only briefly. -- GMail doesn't have rotating .sigs, but you can see mine at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/signatures --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
