Is there any way for two threads of two different processes to communicate
with one another without using the standard IPC mechanisms available. If
yes what are the mechanisms available?

Aruna, you seem to be bombing half the newsgroups I
read with one basic question after another. Are you just
trolling, or are you sincerely looking for knowledge?

Just in case you aren't trolling, and bearing in mind
that Usenet is a poor vehicle for fundamental instruction,
the answers to your questions are

1) Yes.

2) Too many to enumerate.

You have sysv shared memory, sockets,pipes,sysv message queues,
files,signals and perhaps a few others.

Your subject mentions threads and processes, but the body says
only processes. Which is it ? For threads, perhaps you can use
http://utelsystems.dyndns.org/code/threadqueue/ ?
