Unfortunately it appears the wiki formatting is mangled in firefox, but 
works well in chrome :)

Here's the complete code snippet:


pipe_me_in, pipe_peer_out = IO.pipe
pipe_peer_in, pipe_me_out = IO.pipe

fork do
  STDIN.reopen(pipe_peer_in)
  STDOUT.reopen(pipe_peer_out)
  Kernel.exec("echo 33")
  # this line is never executed because exec moves the process
end
pipe_peer_out.close # file handles have to all be closed in order for 
the "read" method, below, to be able to know
# that it's done reading data, so it can return.  See also

There is a link in there to a blog describing ruby's shell class, 
perhaps you did not see it?
