I want to control the server remotely. However, there are security problems. So, I decided to develop a program that can remote control the server safely and easily. It is using email's pop3 server located in internal network. This is still not perfect from a security. However, if you are using a well-controlled internal network it will be very useful.

Description

This is mail.cfg file content.

[Host]
POP3=POP3SERVER
SSL=1

[Account]
User=YOURACCOUNT
Password=YOURPASSWORD

[Rules]
echo=\[Daily report\] (?P<param>.*)
echo2=\[WARNING\] (?P<param>.*)

• Host
  • POP3
    • Server address of pop3. (ex: outlook.office365.com)
• SSL
  • 1 is SSL, 0 is Non-SSL
• Account
  • User
    • User account for POP3
  • Password
    • User password for POP3
• Rules
  • key
    • Python module name in modules subdirectory.
  • value
    • A regular expression for subject selecting.
    • ?P<param> is input parameter to module.

Module Sample

Sample of echo.py in modules subdirectory.

#! /usr/bin/env python

def main(param):
    # implement your command
    print('echo module', param)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
