Remote Controlling of PC

Hi,
I want to remotely shut down my pc from a mobile phone. The idea
that i have got is to send a sms to a website which converts it into
email. This website then sends that email to my pc. This email is
recived using outlook. I wanna know how to shut down the pc once i
have got that email. Should i write a vb program to monitor the
outlook or is there anythin in outlook itself which will monitor the
email and initate a program.

Thanks for all the replies.....

You can hook into an SMS service directly... that way you don't need to
convert to an e-mail. Most SMS aggregators support 2-way SMS
communications.

You can hook into SMS aggregators with VB.

If you want to use e-mail, how are you going to convert the SMS to e-mail?

It'll work in that case, but just a bit redundant if you ask me :-)
