Since the desktop action uses windows mailslots to send messages across the network which do not support encryption or authentication, it is recommended that you do not send security-sensitive information through this notification. You are also encouraged to verify security-sensitive messages received through the Desktop action from remote hosts, as they can be forged quite easily. |
Growl
Forwards an event to a host running Growl. One or more variables can be used in the "Title" and "Message" fields, available variable names can be seen by clicking the arrow in the drop-down control. A password is only necessary if the host running Growl requires a password. "Use TCP" is recommend for most scenarios. Allow network notifications must be checked in the Growl Security dialog.
