Hi Simon, If I understood you correctly that one (lazy) way is to use ecos target definition files (.tdf files). You can put Tcl code there (= what you need). My brief test was % cat >test.tdf<<EOF exec notify-send Hello & exec gksudo & puts hello EOF % watchdog2 -io -t test.tdf and it worked as I could expect. I saw/got all things. Well, it looks like a hack. But, as I said that is one and lazy way to get the needed things in Tcl/Tk (=quickly). Also, IMO, the same things can be done through .gdbinit.
