open process for OSX

[Chipp Walters]

I have a process I want to read from in OSX. I can shell out and launch 
it as a daemon with the "&" to return control to RR, but I can't read 
any resulting data.

This process once started, just runs along spewing data. I'd like to 
read the data if possible. According to the docs 'open process' is not 
supported in OSX. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

BTW, I can't shell out to it directly as it will 'lock up' RR as RR is 
waiting for the command to finish executing-- and it never does.

Perhaps I can pipe the data to a text file? But, I don't know how to do 
this efficiently... Any help is appreciated.

best,

Chipp
