So in your (assumed TextMate) command that sends the server the setup file you need to send the server the value of the DIALOG and DIALOG_PORT_NAME variables (see http://manual.macromates.com/en/environment_variables for how to access enironment variables in a bunch of different languages).

As your server was ruby, you would then do something like:

  ENV['DIALOG']           = «value you received»
  ENV['DIALOG_PORT_NAME'] = «value you received»
  %x{ "$DIALOG" tooltip --text 'I am ready!' }

Instead of --text you can use use --html.
