display "program running process" on unix terminal or new window

Hi:

I want to use skill to invoke "calibre " command  and want to display the "running process" on unix terminal or new window like assura running process.

 I only find ipcWaitProess and ipcReadProcess, but these command only can get result.

I want users know that calibre is running when he invoked skill gui button.

I aslo want virtuoso can still work, not occupy by calibre .

thanks
