Marin,
In addition to the other replies you have had on this subject, fro the
point of view of communicating between the processes, I would suggest
using POSIX Message Queues.
It would probably be worthwhile getting hold of the POSIX Ada Bindings
known as Florist. These can be found by going through HBAP or AdaIC and
will provide much (if not all) of the functionality you need.
In particular, Since you're using Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1) and GNAT,
it is quite likely that you will be able to build Florist without any
problems.
Good luck.
