I've completed initial finishing touches on a shell and shell task within the plugin so that I can (1)send messages directly from the shell, and (in regards to the task)(2)test the load on my server, and if it's at a predetermined high level, send an alert to my iPod Touch, including the load levels themselves.
If anyone's wondering what the difference between this and a text message or email is: - text messages can get congested and lost on some networks during peak delivery times (New Years?) - I can set "sleep hours" in Prowl to not disturb me at specified times (per application?); I haven't used this feature yet - upon receiving a Prowl message, I can (optionally) set specific actions for my iPod Touch to take, depending on the application that has sent the message (i.e.: received a new comment on my blog? Open up Safari to that specific comment page) - can only be received on a device with the Prowl client installed - I have an easy API to work with (from prowl.weks.net) What's the same: - they're still basically "instant" (I currently find Prowl messages more responsive) - they're not guaranteed to arrive (email and txt msgs are inherently possible to get lost), but thus far I haven't lost any - it's basically all text as far as the message itself is concerned Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
