I would have thought that the easiest way would be to use the RunScript{} hook
setting up one for before the job starts and one for after the job ends.
All you have to do is work out how to match an client to an email address.
It may be easier to do something using the smbpopup /vwinpopup protocol then
you can simply send it to the host IP or DNS name.
smbclient -M <IP> "Messager text here"
You will need a winpopup client running on the clientPC. WinXP I think did it
by default, but there are plenty of free clients out there.
