You can use the Good Old Unix Way: pipe() + fcntl() + fork() + dup2() +
execve(), all provided by Lua-posix. The basic idea is described in [1]
and you can read the data with posix.read() and may also need a poll()
loop if you want to multiplex the readings. I wrote something like this
sometime ago, but I have no code at hand now.
