--As of April 18, 2008 4:21:39 PM -0400, David Wilson is alleged to have said:

A command line tool or a true background daemon can't really pull it
off- the process wouldn't have a connection to the window server to
actually do any of that. The best bet, I think, would be to have a
small helper application that could be launched to display the
appropriate alert; the helper application could be a very simple cocoa
app.

--As for the rest, it is mine.

Instead of bundling (and writing) your own helper app, it might be worth while to think about calling Growl:
