Do you run your own email server? When I ran a postfix instance at home I wrote rules that would trigger on specific subject lines to do different things. For example one rule triggered a script that would parse the email for a keyword that preceeded a word that I wanted to know the definition for. It would look up the definition of the word at dictionary.com and email it back. Silly now but handy then. You could do something similar to download a file.
I don't run a mail server but could setup an address on my mail system and have a service pole it through IMAP or POP3 looking for commands. That would be good as I could get the results back as well. I was thinking of extending this to having something running on a server I've got in a data centre which I use to do some testing. I could "ask" it to do a test of some kind and have it send me the results. I'd not want to do anything to intensive as I don't like leaving much unattended but something like Nikto would be fine. hmm, two options now and still no time to develop things"! Robin

Are there any android apps which do that? I was thinking maybe xmpp or irc based and could probably write something but would rather use an existing app if one exists.
