Is there any tool that can monitor status of my working copies from SVN repository?

Question

I'm looking for a tool that will alert me (or let me check the status of multiple folders) whenever I have some pending changes in my working copies.
I have multiple projects that I work on and I could really use a tool that would grab my attention in such case. I know that TortoiseSVN has icon overlays that would do the job if it worked well, but it doesn't. I tried, and had more issues with TortoiseSVN than before.

I don't want to periodically go through 10+ projects and do TortoiseSVN"s "Check for modifications" manually. I'm looking for some other solution.

UPDATE:
I might actually be fine with a script.
The key thing is that upon execution I should get a status of multiple working copies.

Check out the notifier.

SVN Notifier is a simple and useful tool to monitor your Subversion project repository for changes. SVN Notifier notifies you about recent commits and helps you keep your local copy up to date. You can review all the changes and update your local copy right from the application.
