I'm trying to do something like this, where I have two loops going in seperate threads. The problem I am having is that in the main thread, when I use gets and the script is waiting for user input, the other thread is stopped to wait as well.

class Server
    def initialize()
        @server = TCPServer.new(8080)
        run
    end
    def run()
        @thread = Thread.new(@server) { |server|
            while true
                newsock = server.accept
                puts "some stuff after accept!"
                next if !newsock
                # some other stuff
            end
        }
    end
end
def processCommand()
    # some user commands here
end
test = Server.new
while true do
  processCommand(STDIN.gets)
end

The above is just a sample of what I want to do.

Is there a way to make the main thread block while waiting for user input?
