Comment Re:I did that to myself once (Score 1) 447
Right now, I am running a SSH server on my Linux box so I can
log in to it from anywhere. Initially, everytime PPP died, it sent
an e-mail to my yahoo account. But I decided to experiment
and routed it to my cellphone; not too bad, I get about 3-5 messages
a day. It is even better now that I have made the IP the subject on
the message, no need to read the body :-)
I am still experimenting with ways to shutdown the machine via phone;
Probably an e-mail message sent to a special user shutdown@localhost
for example. I am still designing the authentication scheme.
