I guess you could test it in Ubuntu as well, but it would be best to
get this working in Windows as well...
Hmm, is 'cat' a relevant command in Windows? (Or is this running via
Cygwin?) What happens if you manually run 'cat path/to/pid.file' from
the command line? And then in irb, with the regex on the end of the
line?
