“Have you ever been away from your Mac and wanted to shut down, restart, or needed to open an application remotely, but didn’t have access to anything except your iPhone? Well, I am going to show you how to do these tasks with AppleScript and Mail,” Cory Bohon reports for TUAW.
Bohon reports, “This process is fairly easy and involves creating a simple AppleScript and some Mail rules. Note that since these rules will cause your Mac to perform the listed action when they run, be careful when testing!”
Bohon covers:
• Creating the AppleScripts
– Shutdown
– Restart
– Sleep
• Saving your AppleScript
• Setting the Mail rules
• Running the script remotely

It was a joke…
@Re: Ampar…
Uh… I think you confused Ampar’s post which is HUMOROUS with political speech. As is “Me In LA” ‘s post about Al Gore.
turn on your humor gene, chill, and leave the political rants to shen.
@Ampar
“You know he can Tipper on her side with those 3 thirty inchers.”
Buddy, I must say it again… you crack me up! MDN should issue you a per-joke stipend. Just one of the things that keeps me coming back to this website…
Out of curiosity, does the writing work you do for a living include humor, or are we just the lucky beneficiaries of your wit?
Keep ’em coming!
its a good idea. It’ll help me a lot
Datadude,
Only a rampant retard would find an idiot like Ampar anywhere near funny. Congratulations, you qualify in spades.
7over – you saved me some typing. I was reading what some have said about this being a security hole and could hardly believe it. Some people just shoot from the hip I guess.
Now I wish I could send a magic email that would wake my machine.
Ampar, I’m with TheDataDude, great material and we’re all curious, tell us more.
Thanks, The DataDude and makemineamac!
It’s difficult to make technical writing humorous unless you take your stuff too seriously like Rob Enderle.
LOL…
This is not a security threat.
Then post your email.
After all if there’s no threat….
And thanks, Jim – TIV.
“turn on your humor gene, chill, and leave the political rants to shen.”
That’s funny! But sadly, I think a few lost souls are missing that gene and possibly a few others.
Yes, by all means, talk the talk about free speech being important, but when it counters your ideals, by all means it must be shut down (never walking the walk).
“We embrace diversity and tolerance, but only for our views”.
(This is aimed down both sides of the political aisle, BTW.)
To Ampar:
Tipper on her side and let the ocean fill with crude?
Again, I implore you (and AlGore) to walk the walk…can you say Exxon Valdez?
Hmmph.
In the spirit of today’s celebs like K-Fed an J-Lo, I have created…
Barack Hussein Obama = B-Ho.
Tell your friends.
And if course,
Hillary Clinton = Hi-C.
To Me In LA:
“Hmmmph”
Don’t you mean “Harumphh”? Throw in a dagnabbit if you’re up to it.
Oh, and “Exxon Valdez”. There. What do I win?
@ C1
Did you forget to add a Mc-J‘s?
@ Ampar
You, sir, have won the grand prize! A photo of the “S/R Mediterranean” autographed by none other than Capn J. Hazelwood himself!
“Did you forget to add a Mc-J’s?”
Only if McCain is able.
Kinda scary…I think i’ll stick with secured SSH tunneling…
