libpubsub
libpubsub provides everything needed to set up a simple publish/subscribe environment. It allows a programmer to let several processes (not necessarily on the same host) exchange information with each other in a very easy way. It is mainly intended for use in C++ applications, but the package also includes a tool to let shell scripts use pubsub.
