Well, you can have SA reboot the server directly in the event the conditions are satisfied.
Alternatively you can install a MAPI client (outlook) on the server (to be rebooted), then put a rule in Outlook on inbound mail. To prevent any email from rebooting the server you can set SA to send an email containing some unusual string like for example â%~1Jvâ and have a rule in outlook for any email containing that string to execute SHUTDOWN /R command.

From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roderick Garcia Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 6:15 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Trigger a server reboot based on incoming email We would like to trigger a server reboot based on incoming email. We have a 3rd party host that can send us an email based on certain conditions. Receiving this email would prompt us to reboot our server. Can this be done by some type of script? I anticipated maybe finding a way to copy that email as a file to a server directory folder and monitor for >1 files to trigger the reboot. Any ideas is much appreciated.
