I'm new to nodeJS but I'm having a lot of fun with tutorials and examples and learning all sorts of fun new things I can do. One thing I want to try just for the sake of doing it, I have no real application in mind at the moment is this:
client (web browser) -> connects to node app, with socket.io -> spawns child process that runs an application on the host -> application sends message back to node app (unix sockets?) -> node app returns message to the client that spawned the process -> client and application are now sending and receiving messages to each other. In this application the "app" could be something as simple as a bash script that just echoes back whatever messages was sent from the browser as part of a form input. I've got a lot of sample code mashed together and I'm getting close to hacking something of my own together, I guess I'd just like to see what/how other people would suggest doing this. I'm having the most trouble with the child process, and sending messages back to the specific client.
