SMScon for remote N900 control via SMS
Talk user "digitalvoid" has released a new utility which allows users to control their devices with SMS messages. Features include: Autoload at boot, creates a log file (on the device), detect SIM card change and sends new phonenumber and IMSI code (return SMS) to other known mobile number, if somebody has stolen your phone and put his/hers own SIM card in it, send current GPS location coordinates (return SMS), reboot the phone, shutdown the phone, open a reverse ssh connection to your own server (WLAN/GPRS connection), control the device at CLI level from you own home, ftp a frontcam picture to your own server (WLAN/GPRS connection), send the current remaining battery charge (return SMS) SMScon is currently only available as a zip attachment to the Talk thread, which means updates won't be automatically pushed by Application Manager, and the install is more involved than it could be.
