That feature already exists (though, admittedly, it's rather well 
hidden). Go to Edit > Preferences... > Typesetting, select the 
processing tool of your choice and click "Edit...". In the dialog that 
opens up, uncheck "View PDF after running". This prevents Tw from 
opening/focusing the PDF view after typesetting with the selected tool. 
If the PDF is already open, it should still detect the changes on the 
harddisk and refresh.

HTH,
Stefan
