Sw4me: SMSReceptionCenter/SmallProject (Print version)

Let's say, you write a simple CMD shell script that archives your data, copies them elsewhere and shuts down the computer

... You want to leave the computer and leave this script running, but you also want to know if something went wrong.

SMS Reception Center contains smssend.exe utility. It may be called from the command line, CMD or BAT script, to send out a short message to your mobile phone. In most programming languages, it's also very simple to invoke a command-line utility. No need for specialized libraries, components with some complex programming interface and the like.

SMS-enabled scripts and programs may be very useful on a notebook that has a GPRS / GSM module installed.
