Jason,
Most cliboard stuff is is a function of the individual window manager.
KDE has a protocol to allow apps to communicate called DCOP. They also
include a command ine tool by the same name which allows you to (among
other things) send data to the clipboard where it can be retrieved using
Ctrl+V or a middle click. I don't know what method gnome uses if any,
but the bit below should do the trick in a KDE environment.
-Mike
In KDE try:
dcop klipper klipper setClipboardContents "$(script_to_produce_output)"
