System V MessageQueue

Ruby
1

Hello Friends,

I have been trying to communicate with System V message queue inside
ruby script. I found a module on the web which allows me to do so.
“http://rubyforge.org/projects/sysvipc/”

But, I have been facing problem connecting to a queue using above API.
Can somebody help me out here ?

----------------Code-------------------------------------------------

2 require ‘sysvipc’
3 include SystemVIPC
4
5 key = ftok(“/home/sameer/mq”, 66)
6
7 msq = MessageQueue.new(key,0644)
8
9 msq.send(1,“message”)
10
11 p= msq.recv(1,12)
12
13 print p
14

Thanks.

Best regards,
Sameer.

The line 7
msq = MessageQueue.new(key,0644)
should be
msq = MessageQueue.new(key,0644 | IPC_CREAT)
