You wouldn't architect that in that way in JVM. Instead, you'd use threads rather than processes, use heavier-weight but more capable tools and so on.

The JVM is not The Unix Way. You have to do things differently - and in Java-land, they do.

It's not really my thing either, but it's not as bad as you'd think if you just pretend we're mapping all our existing Unix stuff, unchanged, into Java.



Right, and my point is that the JVM way only fits a narrow range of use cases. Primarily long running server side processes.
