One other option, depending on which system you're using, is to script the
notification center.

I was reminded of that because I have scripts triggered by chron every day
that display notifications. It's not debugging, per se, but I use it to be
able to tell if the script has run without errors and done it's job. (It
downloads files that appear anytime during a three hour window, so it lets
me know where it is in the process at any given time.).
