Thanks Gustaf. 

I knew about ns_proxy, but as it is documented as being a proxy to external Tcl processes, I didn’t think to use it as a general process pool.

The part I was missing was
> proxy::exec 

However, won’t that cause the external process to get reloaded every time I call proxy::exec ?

If I’m running a fairly heavy Unix process, this doesn’t seem efficient.

Each run of the external unix process would cause a new run of exec, and thus a new process loading:
