Hi,
I manage some servers in a Farm-
I wish to know if it's possible to exec some command using SMS-
Example:
I have to reboot a service or the server 'cause it's in crash.
I don't have a pc.
I send an SMS to a specific number writng: "reboot server2 code:1234"
the system recognize my auth code 1234 and reboot the server2
It's possibile to do that?
Which sw can do it?
Any suggestions of names?
Thanks a lot!!
I may have misunderstood your request BUT:
1) SMS From PC to Phone
I don't know which country you are writing from BUT here, all (?) cell
phones have an email address, ie.
<10digitno@xxxxxxxxxxx>
9876543210@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
9876543210@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
9876543210@xxxxxxxxxx
9876543210@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2) Phone To PC
And, my cell phones, in the same domains as listed above accept an
email address in the SMS destination field.
So I:
- Send an SMS to a reserved email address
- I usually use some key word in the email to filter on
- Use a utility to monitor the reserved email address (ie. fetchmail)
- Retrieve the email and use procmail and a custom script to parse the
email, and act on it if it meets the criteria.
In #1 I have my computer alert me if a specific email has arrived or
some preset condition has been met on my computer.
In #2 I send a ham radio call sign from my phone, have my computer
look it up then reply with the name, address and qualifications of the
owner.
I use these approachs regularly. Why? Because I can! :-)
Good luck!
