Ah. Maybe a plugin thats set to start with LC that listens to a socket?  Or
checks an env variable ever so often, or a file for changes, or a
combination of these such as hit a listening port in your plugin and check a
file/var whatever.

As for the multiple instances problem, if you go with the plugin route,
could have it create a tmp file to indicate running status, delete it on
close so you know whether to start up rev or not.


Both :) I'm exploring your suggestion of using Fossil for documentation.
Normally it displays stuff in the default browser - but you can set it up so
that it instead calls a browser of your choice. I'd like to set things up so
that a shell call would get an already open copy of Livecode to pass a
message to a handler - just like you do with AppleScript events - but
something that would work on other platforms.
