Actually, it turned out to be remarkably easy. With gr-generated code,
the main program is just:
topblock.start()
raw_input()
topbloack.stop()
Which means that main runs in a separate thread. So, I simply replaced
raw_input() with a loop that goes to
sleep for 250msec, then checks the control file, then goes to sleep
again. A bit in the control file asks the
Python flowgraph to exit. Simple.
Wish there was an easy way to merge grc-generated code with stuff like this.
