This is exactly what I'm doing, and it works quite well. I created
a named pipe, and let the TSM server use that as a filetextexit
(use the APPEND option). On the other end of the pipe a Perl-script
is running, which reads from the pipe and takes actions depending on
the messages it receives.

Beware that such a setup could result in unwanted signals to the TSM
server (SIGPIPE). Test this well.
