Subj : Sharing javascript runtimes?

Is there any way for multiple, separate apps to use the same
spidermonkey runtime, but with it's own context?

For instance, lets say I have 5 processes running on the same machine,
simultaneously.  Is there any way to see if the runtime has been
created, and get a new context to run in the runtime?

Or, is it necessary that each process has it's own runtime?

Or, is it a combination between the two?  Could I use inter-process
communication to tell other processes which runtime to use?

Ideally, I would want to be able to have a process do something like:

if(!attach_existing_runtime())
    create_new_runtime()

Would this save resources the way I would expect it to?

Thanks,
Brian
