Turn Off Your Computer with an E-mail or Cell Phone
Using this method, the user can turn off, restart, hibernate, etc. his computer, simply by sending an e-mail from your phone.
To do this, all you need is Microsoft Outlook which should come with Microsoft Office, which many people have. This must be the computer that you want to want to stop.
So, this is how you do this:
1. First, you need the batch file to perform the Shutdown, Hibernate etc. You can make it very easily.
2. Open the notebook and write like this ...
c:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 00
and save it as shutdown.bat
3. Open Microsoft Outlook. Make sure you have set for your email. Now must make sure that Outlook checks your mailbox for every minute (1 minute for testing time can be increased if desired switch-off delayed). You can do this by going to Tools >> Options.
4. Then click the Mail Setup tab, and then click the Send/Receive button.
5. Make sure that the Schedule an automatic send/receive every........ box is checked and set the number of minutes to 1. Now you can close all of these dialog boxes.
6. Now go to Tools >> Rules and Alerts. Then click the Options button in the upper right and press the import rules button.
7. Now select the file shutdown.bat (which you have created before).
8. Now, when you send a message from the phone to email with the subject of shutdown or %smsshutdown%, your computer will turn off.
