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.
