Can Gschem implement a simple signaling mechanism?
After I generate a schematic with Gschem, I have a script that sometimes modifies the schematic text file. It would be very nice if
Gschem supported a signaling mechanism that allowed my script to send a signal to Gschem that would tell it to reload the schematic file so any changes that script makes can be viewed immediately. Simple linux signaling using the kill command would
suffice. A signaling mechanism that supports multiple Gschem commands would be even more powerful.
I think a feature like this would be very powerful to a great many users and would allow integrating separate GEDA tools into a unified integrated package as well as allowing outside tools to integrate with GEDA tools.
Thank you for your consideration.
