If you want to use it on a Unix system, then a pipe is the cleanest way
to do it.  If you don't mind a bit of C++, this is an example:

http://efax-gtk.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/utils/notifier.h
http://efax-gtk.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/utils/notifier.cpp

If you are using windows it is probably easiest to use a timeout.
