Is it possible to run Ruby IRB ver a named pipe, so I can send commands and get results remotely?

Generally I would like to utilize the IRB engine, while have a different UI (probably written with .Net).

    I believe so – this worked for me (mac os x):

    in terminal 1:

    mkfifo rpipe 

    in terminal 2:

    tail -f rpipe | irb 

    in terminal 1:

    echo 'puts 'hi'' > rpipe 

    in terminal 2 (output):

    puts 'hi' hi nil 

    Kinda annoying that the original command is output as well, but close…
