I found prowl in the itunes store the other day. It has some great features! after i got it to work i can now get push notifications on my iPhone if a server is down, or a service restarts, or a backup just failed!
First, go get growl for windows here
Then install it and add your iPhone in "Network". For now set notification priority to all.
Go get Growlnotify and drop the contents in your windows folder.
Now go to your windows 2008 server event collector and add a task to run at a specific event. add something like this line:
c:\windows\growlnotify.cmd /t:"{Topic}" "{Message to send}"
c:\windows\growlnotify /a:{NameOfApp} /r:{NotificationType} /n:{NotificationType} /t:{Topic} "{Message}"
NOTE: The "" is changed by wordpress for some reason. Write them again manually or you will get a "bad arguments" error
The notification type is important as you can specify in growl if a specific notification type is EXTRA important and schould be send to your iphone or just another growl notification server.
And well... PANG you get push notifications on your iPhone Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. (as long as you remember to install prowl first Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. - You get that from the app store! )
