It really depends on the situation.  In a fairly generic situation I would
probably use a message file as a buffer between the session and the job.  I
would have the job write the information into a message file and have a
program read the message file and display it's contents on my screen.  The
reader program could be written to expect a special flag string (something
like '/exit') to let it know when to stop waiting for messages.  Or if you
didn't want to be running a program the entire time, the program could be
written in such a way that when you run it it simply displays all messages
in the message file and doesn't wait for any new messages.
