It looks like there's fixed list of tools that can be added via Fluxbox's
'session.screen0.toolbar.tools' configuration option and showing
the output of shell script isn't among them (patches?).

Next idea is about putting something into systemtray.
If icon with tooltip suits you, then you can try `yad' tool, see here:

If you need text that is always shown, there are rather simple solutions
using pygtk, e.g.: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-157545.html
