Hmm... Sorry, but I do not quite understand your idea... TCL, Python...
I'm not familiar with script languages.

I propose a C++-solution which seems to me a easy-to-use and flexible
and which I use myself for all my Linux-daemons. And I suggested that if
this solutionseems convenientto me, It may seem convenient for others
developers. I'm just trying to determine the interest in it...
