If you look at the scripts run by tkined, you will see MoJoAction (or similar) which indicates what actions should be taken - one of the actions is write - which will log to a log window when threshold was exceeded. Ditto to syslog.

It is not too hard to change the code to a) carry out extra actions. b) carry them out on major changes in state - I have done this for IP-Monitor - see:

ftp://ftp.brunel.ac.uk/cc/peter/bru_ip_monitor.tcl.gz

for example.
