Async::Process

Implements Process.spawn and Process.capture for async.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'async-process'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install async-process

Usage

In any asynchronous context (e.g. a reactor), simply use the Async::Process.spawn rather than Process.spawn like so:

require 'async/process'

Async::Reactor.run do
	status = Async::Process.spawn("ls", "-lah")
end

Internally, we use a thread, since nio4r doesn't support monitoring pids.
