Yeah, capture the return value. May in a perl script,

Code:
$output = `script`;

Based up on the output, do required action? What's the big deal?
Code:
# if no output 
if ( $output eq '')  {
print "not loaded";
# do load !
} elsif ( $output =~ /Already loaded/ )  {
print "loaded";
} else {
print "unexpected behaviour";
}

script not tested, but should be simple to develop & test if you know a little amount of perl.
