I looked at dctrl and wrote a tcl script that scrolls diald status to the
screen. It helped us debug diald problems in a machine without X.
Unfortunately, the program is at work.
It was pretty easy if you know tcl. Basically you want openFifo and fifoCmd, but
modify the things they call. At the end, you need a
vwait x
To put tcl into the event loop.
If people want I will post the program monday.
