This is an excellent hint. I do lengthy computer simulations on Linux systems and needed some way to know when the simulations had completed. Using this method, I can create a script like:
...
run simulation
echo "Yoohoo, simulation is done!" | smbclient -M mymac
and as long as I've installed MacXPop I get a nice little reminder message in my desktop Mac when my Linux jobs are done!
