That's not so. There is plenty of ways to communicate between the systems on LAN or beyond including with less desirable OSes. Python has been ported to all OSes worth mentioning. It should not be too hard to come up with a script to pass messages and present them one way or the other. One way to push a message is presented here: http://www.html5hacks.com/blog/2013/04/21/push-notifications-to-the-browser-with-server-sent-events/ You can always use netcat or nc to pass messages and pipe them into scripts etc. If you have wireless router on your LAN you can use your PDA (they call them smart phones for some strange reason these days) to alert you on desired events. I would not use email as it is indeterministic event. -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
