ObjectWatcher was built for just this kind of situation, but it ain't 
a tool for newbies.  It will fry your butt if you don't talk pretty 
to it (I just crashed my Mac trying the Sensor  example).

It did work before, and it is the only way I know to do what you 
want. I wrote it, and I'd be willing to hold your hand offline if you 
want to give it a whirl.
