Here’s a cool HOWTO on remotely shutting down your PC via SMS. This might come in handy for all you automators…
I recently read an article on lifehacker that explained how to shut down windows with a text message.

Although I think this is a really cool idea, I don’t own microsoft outlook and I wanted to figure out a more portable way to go about setting up this project on my computer.With an add-on and a few tweaks, it is possible configure this, with a portable copy of Mozilla Thunderbird.
This should take < 10 minutes to set up and configure.
