Nagios alerts via Windows Messenger

[Goltz, Jim (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C]]

This may be an oft-asked question, but I haven't found any mention in
recent archives.

I'm experimenting with using the Windows Messenger service (NOT MSN
Messenger) to send alerts.  Basically Nagios calls "smbclient -M
some_host", and a message pops up on some_host with whatever text I pipe
into smbclient.

The problem is, using smbclient I need to specify which host to send the
message to.  I'd much rather send the message to whichever host a
particular user is logged into.  I know it's possible: running "net send
username text_of_message" in a Windows command shell will do this.  But
I don't know what SMB domain magic happens to tell "net" what machine
"username" is logged into.

Has anyone ever successfully done this, perchance?
