Hello,  

I have rsyslog up and running and am successfully using omprog to execute
external scripts.  However I'm having problems running a wxpython gui app
in the same manner.  It runs fine if executed from the command line and
also appears to run when an event filter is triggered in the config but the
process dies shortly after without ever opening the gui interface.  The
script simply plays a .wav file in a loop until a "silence" button is
pushed.  I've tried wrapping the script in a few different variations of a
shell script that exports DISPLAY=:0 but no luck.  Has anyone had any luck
running an external gui app with omprog?  I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
here's what I think is the pertinent debug info:
