Re: IPC (or how to "bounce" a running zsh?)

On most systems, you could use named pipes.  See mkfifo(1).

With the corresponding zsh modules, you can use either
TCP (zsh/net/tcp) or Unix domain sockets (zsh/net/socket).
See zshmodules(1).

Modules for SYSV IPC or POSIX IPC have not yet been written.
