Growl Network Notification on non-OSX plateform

Hi all...

Aswell at work than at home, I have many Linux/x86 machines (recent semi-switcher I'd say ;-) )... I would have loved using Perl scripts to be able to send Growl notifications on the network, but the thing is that it's tightly binded to Mac:: and OSA libs which are not available for non OSX plateformes (unless I missed something)

Would there be a way to have less plateforme dependant libs for that ?

My co-workers have Linux stations, and or servers are all Linux too, I was looking around the Growl solution for having an visual way (and eye-candy) for being notified of events (like "VPN tunnel crash Paris-Shanghai" or "Alert: Heavy Load on HK Nas" or "Frequent 500 Errors detected on Paris main server") you know, all those visual things we like :-)

TIA

Ah thanks...

I promise I looked around before asking... probably the red martini which disconnected half of my brain

Thanks

No worries, I wouldn't have seen it either unless I knew where to look. I think we need a "how to use Growl from another platform" page on the website.

Makes me think... From the Develloper Pages, I haven't seen any link to http://growl.info/documentation/developer/protocol.php . Am I wrong (or nuts) ?

I don't feel tipsy neither ;-) but I might have missed it too.

Thanks again anyways :-)

JB,

If it's not apparent then it needs to be change. Thanks
