When I plug in my laptop to my network, it appears in the finder as an available shared device. The finder obviously gets notice that a new device is available. Anyone know how to capture that particular message?

Well, it depends who you are. Are you the Finder? The Finder is a Carbon app and probably does it by registering for the appropriate Carbon Event. Are you a Cocoa app? A Cocoa app would likely do it by registering for an NSWorkspace notification.

No polling ("cron job", as you call it) is involved.

Very hard to see what this has to do with TextMate... m.
