Well, you *clearly* need to have some sort of "daemon" running in
order to do this.
I expect it will in effect be a LISTEN process that waits for clients
to submit NOTIFY requests.
Even if you don't actually choose to use NOTIFY/LISTEN, per se, you'll
doubtless wind up creating an ad hoc, informally-specified
implementation of part of it...
