this may be something that can more easily be done with xcode, but
i'd like to know if it's possible to pipe a shell's output into a
quartz composition? if there were a way to tie applescript in, i
think that might do it as well, since you can now run shell script
from within applescript.
for instance, i imagine watching a log file for incoming http
requests, logins, etc. and making a nice display out of it.
if you're on Leopard, there's a Shell Command patch built-in, which
will do shell stuff. if you're on Tiger, there are unofficial plugins
that do similar things.
To use apple script, you might want to look into the 'osascript' shell
command (which invokes apple scripts I think... I've not used it
personally). (this is a bit backwards from your suggestion to call a
shell script from applescript :)
