notifications on remote computers
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 5:52 pm
Hey,
I wanted to make a little applescript that would call growlnotify to send a message to another computer.
It seems possible since growlnotify has the --host parameter.
But when I try I always get a time-out...
When using the ip it fails:
When using the computername it fails, but when I write "user@computer" it does not return an error. (but no notification on the other computer)
Is there something I'm forgetting here? Do I need to open up a port in the firewall?
The growl network tab finds the other online computers (hence I'm trying with the computername)
