Re: [NTG-context] calling ConTeXt as a background process

Sorry for the OT thread, I suspected the problem being more in the LuaTeX area.

I don't think it's in the LuaTeX area, for LuaTeX is just a regular process. I have to admit that I have run into similar problems with different software I tried to run from a "server process" (whatever this means) and it always took me some time to get it right. At the end it was aways clear to me why it wouldn't run (but I can't remember anymore, since it is many years ago). So I suggest to replace the LuaTeX call with different other software and see where it breaks. Use software that reads STDIN, that writes to STDOUT/STDERR and alike and see if they are ok. Patrick
