How can I display a pop-up alert message to a user from a background launchd daemon?

Can anyone offer some guidance on how to pop-up a dialog box from a
background process?  I have a system daemon started by launchd out of the
/Library/LaunchDaemons folder.  Among other things the daemon manages a
background software update process, and depending on the extent of the
change requires the user to restart the system.  It is currently written in
C++ and for the most part only uses POSIX API's with a very small number of
CoreServices and CoreFoundation functions.  Can anyone offer some advice on
the best way to approach this?



Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

Tom
