As outlined, nothing is taken from the client, only from the log file.

I'm aware the map feature is disabled, however maps with grid coordinates are provided by the wiki and accessible elsewhere. Simply automating the process of taking a /loc, as indicated from the log file, and pinning it to the map, would be an interim goal.

However, this particular goal itself I don't think is relevant - the question is more, can i make use of the log file as I see fit, in an automated fashion, so long as I'm not causing key-presses to the client from a third party app. This app would run passively, presumably on a second monitor or in a separate window.
