An analogy:

...and about as painful to watch.

Your goal is to run it in one mouseclick, with options, and without having to type them in? But still have your program able to communicate with a terminal? Easy: Create a shortcut (or script) which does this:

Code:
xterm -e /path/to/my/application flags flags more flags

...and you're done!

Better yet, when you don't need the terminal anymore, you can just not use the terminal. There's nothing to take away from your code.

Please, please, please just try it.

Code:
if u take a look at the last sample i posted, thats exactly what i need, except i tried making it write ouput to a file or pipe insted of sockets, but failed.
if u can show me hos its done, it would fix everything...

Against my better judgement, I already wrote an entire example for you about that from scratch and explained, in detail, why it wouldn't work for xterm, and what hacks might make it possible.

When you're trying to connect to your own code with network sockets, it's a red flag that your design's the wrong way around. If you tell me exactly what you think you can't do, I'll show you how to do so. It'll be a thousand times less work.

NAME
img-bmp - Img, Windows Bitmap Format (bmp) SYNOPSIS
package require Tk package require img::bmp ?1.4? image create photo ?name? ?options? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The package img::bmp is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::bmp. Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the Windows Bitmap Format (bmp). More specifically img::bmp extends Tk's photo image type. The name of the new format handler is bmp. This handler does not provide additional configuration options. All of the above means that in a call like image create photo ?name? ?options? [1] Image data in bmp format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically. [2] The format name bmp is recognized by the option -format. SEE ALSO
