Generating a widget 'event' from an external program... [message #64369]

Hi there,

I have a well developed widget program (which actually shows data
projected on an Earth globe) and I am wanting the program to respond
to a 'button push' generated by an external program. Specifically I
want the program to update in real-time.

I'm sure there are many ways of doing such a thing - but one way that
would work for me right now would be if an external program (like a
'cron driven' perl script) could 'push' an idl widget button.

Is there any way of doing this ? If not (in the way I am imagining
it) then the supplementary question is:
How do you build a full widget program that will do all the usual
widget things - but will also just naturally update itself every
minute or so...

Thanks for any help....

George.
