I have thought of this initially before doing it with Gtk2. But it means a dual-process application (Hopman + a GUI written in Tk, PHP ...). In a mode of operation like inotifywait, a formatted message would be emitted by Hopman to standard outputeverytime the status changes. I probably rejected this solution because it implied to develop the two programs, which at least is twice more work.
