Easy. Just pack it into an "OnIdle" event handler.

If you want to script / remote control gnumed, I would suggest that is the 
wrong way to do.
I would rather suggest to write an XML-RPC service, which communicates with 
gnumed by posting messages into the main event loop. That is, the XML-RPC 
service as an external interface to the internal massage loop.
