You have the separation in the operation system then. Single

Again I agree here but how is this accomplished? Through UNIX pipes? How
do you transfer data between these programs? Do you use something like
inter process communications? Sockets?
Yes, or something like 9P. (Beat you to it, Uriel!)
Does anyone nowadays still remember the lessons of the structured
programming paradigm that preceded OOD? It's amazing how well the Unix
approach exemplifies the structured design virtues of modularity,
decoupling, cohesion, etc. The OO stuff *tries* to achieve the same
virtuosity, but doesn't succeed nearly as well.
