[SLUG] gkrellm embedding

I have a script I wrote "/export/bin/calls". It prints callers (from Caller
ID data from a trusty old USR Sportster). I can run it any time, but what
I'd like to do is run it repeatedly inside a gkrellm plugin, if that's
possible, so I can see who's calling right as it happens. Right now I use

watch "calls | tail -4'

(runs "calls | tail -4" every 2 seconds, showing the last 4 calls) which
works but it's clunky. Does such a thing exist? Failing that, I think FVWM
has a button bar, so maybe I can figure out enough about it to make it do
what I want.
