I figured as much of Nuage. I can vouch for Prowl not requiring any
computer. I do have a Windows VDI instance that I installed Growl on
to let me know certain things...and I do use Growl on the Mac but the
bulk of my notifications are triggered via the monitoring system
running the perl script on the server and passing appropriate
arguments to it. I even use a WordPress plugin that leverages Prowl to
send me specific notifications for activity on a website.
That said, nothing beats a full blown app from Dartware, until then
there are some decent solutions.

I've been experimenting with Nuage and am not impressed. Nuage
creates an
e-mail account for you on their server. E-mail sent to that account is
supposed to be pushed to the Nuage app on your iPhone. Sometimes it
works,
but more often than not the Nuage server rejects the e-mail with a
"user
unknown" NDR.
If it was more reliable it would be a simple matter to use an IM e-
mail
notifier set to that address, but so far it has been next to
useless. I've
sent a query to Nuage support, and hope they can straighten it out.
I'll take a closer look at Prowl, but at first glance it looks like it
requires Growl running on Mac OS or Windows so may not be usable
here since
we run IM Server on a Linux box.
Which prompts this IM feature request:
The iPhone is becoming pretty ubiquitous even in the IT world that
rejected
it for so long. How about adding a push notifier to IM, and create
an IM app
for iPhone to receive the notification, sound the alarm, and display
an
alert?

Prowl for iPhone. Well worth the $2.99. Has a fairly robust list of
tools on their API page to handle a number of ways to send
notifications. I turned it on and then turned my SMS down from 1500
to
200.
Anyway, I use the perl script and it works great. Very fast. I also
like having levels of criticality to differentiate with separate
sounds and filters based on time of day.
Looking at store just now, it looks like there is a similar app
called
Nuage for $0.99 but it appears a bit sparse on details. Perhaps only
triggered via an email.
