alert from a daemon?

Subject: alert from a daemon?
From: Adrian Ross <email@hidden>

Hi there,

I'm writing a daemon and want to put in "check for updates" functionality. My problem is that, being a daemon, it has no connection to the UI, so I don't know how to notify the user when there's a new version available. It's launched at boot time, runs as user nobody, etc.

Is there a way to display an alert to the currently logged-in user? Anyone have other solutions? I guess I could write a separate executable solely for this task and install it as an agent, but that seems a bit over the top.

Thanks,
Adrian
