   Hello,
  
  My current task is following: there is an apllication with GUI. This application has some
  processes managed and displayed its status by GUI. I would like to rewrite all torwards
  a client-server architecture. But I am not sure this is a typical client-server approche,
  because the server has to give a signal to the clients if its status was changed.
  
  Moreover I would like that the program can run on Linux beside Windows (or server, or
  client, or both). So I need some crossplatform solution. The speed is very important
  requirement, so that I think JAVA is not good choice on the server side.
  The program was written in C++.
  
  In short I should write an service application, which could be driven by a client program
  on an another machine and the server status changing should be displayed here too.
  I would like the client program to be a web application later.
  
  I have seen follwing so far:
  
  IPC:
  - NamePipes
  - CORBA
  - Apache ActiveMQ
  
  CrossPlatform:
  - QT
  
  I have no experience in IPC, so I can not decide that if a message queue approche is a
  good choice or not. Could anybody help me and give me the first step?
  
  Regards,
  d.a.
