That sounds very impressive! The one problem I've run into with mail
It's not new. I wrote a similar thing for executing shell scripts for EDS in 1986, except that I didn't have the means to digitally sign the email, so I put a header "X-Password:" with a password in it. Since the email was only going over a UUCP link, I felt pretty safe about it. Since the EDS machine (a Sun 2!) was calling me, that was the only way I had to execute commands and get results back. It was written in C, by the way, for a variety of reasons, even though perl was available (I am not a perl fan). -- Ed Carp, N7EKG ecarp@pobox.com 214/993-3935 voicemail/digital pager ** WeatherWatch, a division of Disaster Services - Garland, TX ** Owner: WeatherAlert, DSOUTH-L backup, Shamanism mailing lists
