No issues and no problems but I want to be able to do it if I want to. I just need help with the script if you saw it in the previous email.
I need a way to look in the body of an email for a code and if it sees that code proceed with the script. Its not really a bad idea or security problem. You can use filters and filters.in.tab to make it only work if it gets the email by what ever email you tell it. Sometimes us admins are on the road and driving and get a call and lets say all that needs to be done is a server reboot and the server is behind a locked door at the office that only you and the ceo have a key too and both of you are not in office. Well I could pull over and breakout the lappy , connect to the internet and remote in ORRRRR I could hang up with the person that called you and you can send an email via phone to the server and it would reboot. It would be even better if you could specify the machine to be rebooted by computer name in the body of email. FILTERS IN.tab "[EMAIL PROTECTED]""[EMAIL PROTECTED]""0.0.0.0/0""0.0.0.0/0""reboot.tab" /Filters reboot.tab "cmd.exe /c D:\Xmail\xmail_filters\email-reboot.cmd""@@FILE""@@RCPT" On 4/1/06, John Kielkopf <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Your last two emails, and your test came through here fine. > > I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but if it's for an opinion; I > don't think restarting via email is a great plan.
