<div dir="ltr">Coincidentally, I've been pondering a similar question for an internal gem I've been working on this week. (We want to spin up a fresh Kafka server so one botched test run doesn't leave state hanging around for subsequent runs.) We're using Aruba, but I didn't notice childprocess when I was going through it. Thanks, Andrew, for the pointer! John, I'm glad you asked, too! :)<div>
