You are kind of missing the point of a machine with a network, automated scheduling and the native ability to run single apps in a remote window. Users don't need to sit in front of every machine they have for it to be doing something useful for them. The user may in fact be halfway around the world when you'd present that pop-up that he'll never see in some window manager he's not running. Messages you want should come to you, rather than having to do the reverse.
So set up logwatch or whatever other server machine monitoring software you prefer.
