Not necessarily; What you could do is stop fast-user switching and start using Lion's brilliant new Remote Desktop feature, logging into a specific user's console on a computer. What you'd end up doing at that point would be "remotely controlling" your work (or personal) screen from the other. You could have growl running in whatever user you're logged in as, and the other growl publishing via network events. There are a couple things that I don't know but could probably be worked around:
1) Pretty sure Remote Desktop doesn't connect to localhost, so you'll need to mess around with /etc/hosts or other ways to advertise another service. 2) Whether or not Growl can listen/push to different ports, so two different instances of Growl can coexist on the same host. 3) Whether or not Apple suspends applications that are not being used in an "Active" console (ie: Primary console or remote console) -Devon On Aug 8, 2011, at 7:22 PM, Rudy Richter wrote: > I really don't think you're going to be able to do this.
