You can also leave off the -ui but then instead of a put you must write to stdout. Worked last time I checked on 4.0, didn't test on 4.5 so don't know if it will work there. Also, since you run without -ui you get a window flash.
On the subject of revserver, Andre, you mentioned that liburl works with that, but I have yet to get it to work in a revserver script. Has there been an updated release of revserver that works wiht liburl, or do I just have something broken on my end or.. ? Suggestions welcome, because i'd love to have liburl available.
