Check out the run and readsocket capabilities.
${run blah}
and
${readsocket blah}

We mostly use the latter, to avoid the overhead of starting one or several
processes per message. It's pretty easy to write a suitable daemon in
Python...it's likely also easy in Perl (which I haven't spoken intensively
since we started seriously using Python about 8 years ago). One of ours was
started...on the machine where I happen to be...sometime in 2004, another
was started back in March of this year.
