How To Turn Off Your Computer With Mobile Phone & E-mail

Using this method, a user can shutdown, restart, hibernate, etc., your computer, simply send an email from your phone. To do this, all you need is Microsoft Outlook which should come with Microsoft Office, what most people have. This needs to be on the computer that would have shut down. So this is how you do it:

First, you need the batch files to perform the Shutdown, Hibernate, etc.. If you know you do not need to write down, if not you can download it  here.

You must extract the file to the C: drive, thus:  C: \ sms_functionsshutdown.bat (Important this is a must, the path must be exact), or you can modify the rule once you import it to point to the new destination, is your call. But I recommend leaving with is described above.

Open Microsoft Outlook. Make sure you've configured for your email. Now we have to make Outlook checks your inbox every minute (1 minute for testing time can be increased as desired). Go to Tools: Options .

Then click the Mail Setup , and then on the button Send / Receive .

Make sure that the Scheduler automatic send / receive is checked, and set the number of minutes interval. Now you can close all dialog boxes.

Now go to Tools: Rules and Alerts ... Then click the Options button in the upper right corner and press the Import Rules.

Now select the file shutdown.rwz that was found in the zip file you downloaded called sms_functions.

Now, when you send a message from your phone to your e-mail with the subject smsshutdown%% , your computer will shut down.

You can also make your own rule, so you can use your own batch file, and you can specify the phrase you want to trigger the action.
