Hello world,

I posted a copy of a prototype eMail Remote Command small app on Paul's ressource site (App section) for getting some feedback.

Purpose of it is to launch given applications on a server sending it an email (formatted of course) from any remote station or mobile / PDA ...

If any people are interested to load and give me some feedback this would be great.

It is just the executable part with no installation package here. I just added help files.

I will answer any question you have and take all remarks in account.

This is spooky... I am working on a similar app!

The thing I was
concerned about was other people seeing the E-Mail during its travel
and sending hostile commands to the server... a bit scary, especially
if they send a command like "del c:\*.*" or something...

You should only allow to execute appz in
a special directory if everybody is reading
your eMails.
Or maybe protect the message with PGP key
or your own encryption...

Hello PB,

Why spooky ! Maybe we could share experience and knowledge about.

I let you look at the post I made on the ressource site, going further in the meanwhile.

If you have any interest in it, we can exchange more about features and workaround I am designing.

Yeah, I know... I was too lazy to type "tree" because I knew "del" would
be enough to get the point across.

Just weird that we did the same sort of app at a similar time.

Mine's nothing as flash as yours at all... it just checks my Inbox for
an E-Mail with the command and then executes the command with the
ShellExecute API. That's why I said it would be dangerous: Anyone who
saw the E-Mail could easily figure out what it does and how to do it.
