My thought is to have glisrc (the backend) be written in shell script. It is designed to run non-interactively, and you log its output and do frontend over it. The advantage to bash script is portability (any arch can use it), language neutrality (any language can call it), and it is just most simply written in bash. To do it in another language will require a lot more work. What are your thoughts? Nathaniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
