Signals can du fine, and you can very well make it event driven.
However signals have ofcourse limitations, you can only use a few of them,
and it's hard to pass additional data.
A common approach is to use unix sockets, see e.g. and create a little
utility that can communicate to the "server" for use in e.g. shell
scripts.
see e.g. http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/ipc/usock.html
