It didn't work because net send's are logged in the "System" log, not
the "Application" log.  The latter is what EventLog.open() defaults to
if no source is specified.  Modify the notify.rb script, and create an
EventLog object this way:

e = EventLog.open("System")

It worked fine for me. :)

HTH.
