Did you check out "sprog" ? It is something _very_ close to automator but based on Perl/Gtk+2.<p/>Rock on! Great Idea! Did you check out “sprog” ?

Software could then provide 'blocks' which could be assembled by users in a drag and drop fashion. No need to know anything about the calling format of command line programs and clear presentation for a (perhaps novice) user trying to understand what is happening. <a href="http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/">http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/</a> provides a good description of the paradigm which also, to an extent, underlies current research into web-services (part of my research field) Have you thought about using a data-flow paradigm?

We just need a layer that maps D-BUS services and command-line tool based actions (described in XML files, for instance) to an "Action" structure. Then, we can easily build blocks for workflows Joe, yeah, that’s what the actions are.
