A minimal implemention of the Actor model using Bash scripting.

The root folder contains one (and only one) folder for each actor. Each actor's behavior is described by a single Bash script. Messages are passed by creating files under each actor's Inbox subdirectory.

A new terminal process is launched for each actor. Actors can be launched individually by manually running the appropriate Actor script, and they can be shut down individually by placing a file in the Inbox containing only the following line:

stop

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.
