  • Pope, the Powerful Piping Environment and Urb

    Pope is a compherensive library for Ruby for doing all the basic Unix IPC stuff: processes or threads communicating via pipes or sockets. Basic popen-type tasks made easy, more complex tasks made possible.
    
    Status: mature, but no docs, no release yet
    
    Urb is a full-fledged shell for Ruby utilizing Pope and Irb (the standard Ruby repl). Urb has job control, and unlike psh and other Perl shells, Urb is just a library, that is, all you type into it will be valid ruby (given that Urb accepts the command). It features customized readline support and an alternative reader which understands a fragment of Bourne shell.

• Fuse for FreeBSD

  Eventually, this has been done by porting Fuse to FreeBSD.
