A free utility to send upd messages from command line is "Swiss File Knife" available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
On Android there are couple of nice programs that can send UDP packets, "UDP/TCP Widget" and "IOT Remote control".
They are very easy to setup and use, for example here are screen shots of "IOT Remote Control". Simply configure IP address (or network name) of the computer running gPhotoShow, the same port number configured in gPhotoShow, the UDP protocol and the command text.
