Hi Jim, Made progress to a point, I wasn't able to get a full blown instance going, but I feel my effort was good enough to prove it can be done and used. Overall the code looks good and as we move forward, possibly in the 2.4 release, I think it would be ideal to put all OS related routines in their respective OS modules, like notify_via_(wall,msg,oascript), etc.
In the supporting documentation for this on the vcl wiki somewhere, I recommend to list known working apple hardware. So far I can say that it would work with the Mac Mini 2011 model and your running it on MacPro. I'll work on committing the backend and db components it into trunk on your behalf. I think Josh has already committed the php part. Thanks for the work and sorry it took so long to review it.
