Description

Growl sometimes gets a bit weird with needing to be sure the password is right and all, so it'd be nice to have a test button to confirm that it's working. Perhaps something very basic that just takes the listed settings and sends a test message to the growl server or something.

You can file a test notice by going to Diag>Command, in PHP box put in:
file_notice("test","test");

Note that if you are doing multiple tests because you are setting up a new growl client that's behaving badly then you need to change the notification text each time you run this test. pfSense has built in safeguards to prevent spamming your growl client (saves the last notification to a text file and compares new notifications to that file, if they match, no new growl is sent over the network).

So,
@
file_notice("test","test1");

file_notice("test","test2");

file_notice("test","test3");
@
etc.
