OK, understood.
BTW: For virtually any other platform than Mac OS, there a message

What's wrong with AppleEvents ?
Nothing - except they are proprietary.
Moreover, I suppose the system isn't as refined as other
message passing systems (MQ-Series, M$ queue server).
Having work with JMS they are actually quite refined, networkable, and
quite robust.
But yes, they are proprietary.
WebSphere MQ can use XML and SOAP as messages so hooking RB into this
should be fairly straight forward.
JMS is SOAP based as well so there's nothing really stopping RB from
using this sort of service.
If you use Java on OS X you can also use JMS.
Do we have synchr. and asynchr. events?
As far as I know yes.
Does the system stores messages if the system crashes and resends them
if it's up again?
No. It does not, to my knowledge, support guaranteed delivery like this.
But then it also does not require a messaging server as MQ does in
order to support this sort of functionality.
Do we have user defined timeouts?
I don't know, if these features are available. Do you?
