That would not only be good for a java GUI but for any other clients as
well.
I asked for that some time ago but since I asked on a weekend I got
no response - my fault :)

I would even go a step further and provide a two-way callback in which
the client could return FALSE to stop the command. Because right now
it's not possible to stop a command (at least without killing the thread
and leaving memory leaks).

If something like that is in the API I haven't found it either.
