I remember seeing some set of mail parsing scripts that allowed emails to perform commands on a host.
This isn't the one I was looking for, but something like this: http://unix.freshmeat.net/projects/mail2sh/
Also, there's a GAIM plugin that allows remote command execution if you're okay with the security implications of that. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1071005&group_id=235&atid=390395
I suppose you could use an IM Client on your phone to send the name of a short unix script.
But then again, many people today can also use ssh from their "phone" to access a real shell on their mythtv box - or even just use a web interface from their phone!
BTW, Ian... when you reply to emails it seems that your MUA is generating a new thread.

About this whole touch tone thing and home automation control. I love
the Myth automation concept. Isn't that what myth is suppose to be
about? Mythical convergence? As far as touch tone activation, I've been
half following this thread.. Instead of touch tone magic, why not good
old SMS?
In this summer issue of 2600 (I think). there is a short article on
using SMS to control your box.. It's sort of smart hack..Basically, it
takes advantage the fact that most phones can SMS email addresses.. I'll
see if I can find/post the article if anybody is interested. It could
turn into a pretty useful tool if somebody put some time into a myth
interface.
