   Hi,

I somehow like the idea from someone (Jamie?) somewhere in this thread 
to model the notification like unix signals.  Just flag that something 
changed.  Don't carry the actual info, just ping the management app, 
which in turn must use "info <whatever>" to get the details.

That solves the queuing issue.  I also closes the command vs. 
notification races.  Management apps don't need new parsers, the 
existing "info <foo>" parser(s) will do just fine.

cheers,
   Gerd
