An app for remote system admin via email?
I'm looking for an application to handle remote system administration of a linux box via email. The box will only connect to the internet intermittently to pull in mail, so remote admin via ssh or webmin isn't a satisfactory option. I need something that can read mail (presumably checking pgp / gpg signatures for authentication) and execute commands contained therein. I have googled but not found anything suitable. Anyone have any ideas?

I would just pipe all email to a specific address, into a script that parses the file for commands.
Here's a weak example: contents of email: Quote:
Code:
#!/bin/sh |
Thanks! I realized I could do it with scripts, but I was indeed worried about security - it is far to easy to make mistakes. I also have almost no experience writing my own scripts (shell or perl). Additionally, there's no point in reinventing the wheel and I assume someone has already done this before, so I'd still like to hear from anyone who knows of such an app.
