Yes, why not. Did you have a look into Robert's daemon so far? > btw, i wonder if descriptor sent through AF_LOCAL socket whould remain > valid after sender closes it? and what about "after sender terminates"? We're talking about Cygwin processes not native Windows processes, so we should be able to handle that (more or less) correctly. What if the sender is blocked until the daemon got a descriptor copy? Then the sender can do what it wants. Just a draft.
