Let me show the way a tool is called:
* the function xsystem() will excute the tool
* a watch is added by
[code]
g_io_add_watch( ob->io_channel, G_IO_IN, ( GIOFunc ) io_signal, ob );
[/code]
the function 'io_signal' will read lines from channel and send to outputbox
* add a background task in case there is no output from the tool:
[code]
ob->pollID = g_timeout_add( 200, ( GSourceFunc ) poll_tool, ob );
[/code]
