TerminalMate does the socket approach.

I also have this proof-of-concept code http://pastie.textmate.org/66467

Try ⌘R that in TextMate, it runs ‘sh’ as a shell interpreter and  
waits for commands to be written to /tmp/testpipe, so in a new shell  
do e.g.:

     echo date >/tmp/testpipe

This should show the current date in TM’s run window -- when done,  
write “exit” to /tmp/testpipe.

For fcsh, it would run fcsh instead of sh, and it would detach. Some  
additional logic would need to be added to check if it is already  
running.
