Summary0002857: GUI not updated when external scripts talk to server fifo
DescriptionI have scripts that might decide to stop/start/restart server/driver(s) upon certain conditions.
They do this by sending commands to the server via the fifo (/tmp/IndiStarter.fifo) initiliazed
by indistarter.
It seems that those commands do not trigger updates in the indistarter GUI.
Not a big deal, but it would be nice if the GUI was updated every few seconds
on the basis of running processes.
Steps To ReproduceLaunch indistarter, indiserver, and at least one indi driver indi_xxxxx.
echo "stop indi_xxxxx >/tmp/IndiStarter.fifo"
indi_xxxxx is topped but the GUI does not reflect the change.
TagsNo tags attached.

I think you are right, it not work in all the case.
It look like the indiserver do send the stop message only if another application, like the GUI, is connected. Maybe this is because indistarter do not ask for detailed properties.
I make a change to periodically check so it mark stopped driver after a small delay.

You can try this version 2.4.2-221 from https://vega.ap-i.net/tmp/indistarter/
This is for x86-64, tell me if you need a build for another platform.
