in thread simple IPC needed

Thanks again for the excellent script. It works great in linux (kinda quirky in windows for some reason though).

Regarding the previous script above of yours (with the deamonized server), how would I change the IP's if I want the client script to talk to the server script running on a different box? I couldn't get it working on different boxes...

    Just change the "localhost" to the numerical IP address that you want. For the server, set it to the ip address of the ethernet card, or whatever is exposed to the net, like 207.199.045.345. Do the same on the client. You may have firewall problems too. Whatever port you have opened, must be allowed to pass through the firewall, that goes for intranets too. A good firewall, also controls ports on the "local network".

      Ah, ok, so the server and client both need to be set to the IP of the server. Got it working. Thanks again for all your help!
