Rails autotest with ubuntu and remote growl

Question

I am using ubuntu to develop my rails apps in a virtual machine and I want to send growl notifications in my windows which is in a LAN (growl exists in windows also).

I wrote a simple script to send notifications from ubuntu to windows remotely and it worked perfectly (with the ruby-growl gem), but I was wondering if autotest/growl supports remote notifications and how can I do that.

Answer 1

Have fun hacking. http://github.com/svoop/autotest-growl/blob/master/lib/autotest/growl.rb#L87

Answer 2

autotest/growl doesn't use ruby-growl so I don't know how that runs on linux, but does adding Autotest::Growl::remote_notification = true to your ~/.autotest file do what you need?
