Can ask on Twitter for you though :) -- -- Juha Saarinen AMNZCS Twitter: juhasaarinen

I've been doing a lot of bash scripting lately, but have been unable to post to the list for some time. Sending this after another round of trying to get google-groups to work, and maybe it'll go this time... I've been working on a system for some time using programs of any sort as methods in an object-oriented system, with run-time resolution of objects and methods. The main program driving the system is a bash script, built up from functions in a development directory. Along with this I've been using symlinks as variables, apparently an untapped resource. Ken

My problem was due to confusion between multiple accounts and was on my end, but I stumbled on the right incantation this time. > > I've been working on a system for some time using programs of > > any sort as methods in an object-oriented system, with run-time > > I remember you talking about this sometime back.

I'm using it on various servers doing data processing, where the code is mostly in small, independent programs as opposed to larger monilithic ones. I guess the goal is to try to use the filesystem and process model as directly as possible to store data and operate on them. I recently made the type/class links fully symbolic, resolved at run time, where formerly those links had to resolve statically to their class directories. Types can now include ordinary files in addition to directories; e.g., a class can declare that a file foo will be a boolean attribute, with methods to operate on foo found in a class directory. The scheme is experimental and evolving, but is functional enough to(Continue reading)
