If the phone is jail-broken and you can run shell scripts on it,
a quick one-liner
	while :; do wget ... && beep; sleep 5; done
should be all you need.


If it's not, there are several options depending on whether the
phone can talk to the net or not.


No internet?  Use any regular SMTP client:

- Run a minimal SMTP server on another LAN box

- Configure the phone e-mail client to check for new messages on
  the LAN SMTP server every N minutes

- Send messages to the phone using the LAN SMTP server


If the phone is connected to the internet already, skip the
LAN SMTP server.

If the phone is connected to the internet and no SMTP client is
installed, install a chat application which has a public API
(e.g. https://chatwork.com) and send (encrypted) messages from
the linux box to the phone using the API.




Or, if you want to go full hard-core, check out the X10 home automation
apps, after installing some compatible hub server on a LAN box.
