Growl is a notification system for OS X. It already seems to have plenty of apps that will send messages when anything happens. Plus it has Python, Perl and Java bindings.
On the Linux side, some code is being written to do something similar. Gnome-Notify is the start of an implementation of this spec. More thoughts can be found here.
Longhorn will supposedly have something along these same lines.
