use Email and script to send commands to your Windows server

[Thomas Parvais]

Hello

I have in mind to use hmailserver scripting mechanisms to implement some remote function to perform some actions on my windows server

Idea is : I send an email to a certain address, with defined subject and defined message (including password)

Then hmail server detects this message and launch a batch file or some shell commands and sends back an email with results

I have some trouble with one of my IIS website that needs to be relaunched remotely

any idea to implement this ?

Thank you

Here is a script I wrote that will activate when specific text is in the header

You can modify that to run a batch file. If you get stuck, post where you get to and I'll try and help. This is something I have been considering doing for a while anyway, specifically I am looking to update the account list stored on a backup MX via an email generated from a script that is scheduled at the primary MX
