[Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM

[Anton Krall]

I already have this workling for remote linux admin. For example, each linux
box has it MSN user and I have them on ly MSN list. So if I need to reset a
server, I just send an IM via MSN to the user with the keyword reboot and
the server runs the command.

If you need any help on setting this up, let me know.

I'm really liking this idea. It sounds like exactly what I need. This sounds
like a "bot" in irc or the like... Basically I could set a command such as
/call to call me it seems. That would be exactly what I need. Thank you a
ton.
