To setup your PC, You need Outlook Express + Email Account, kwiry account and a cellphone that is SMS capable. Here is a video tutorial to guide you on preparing your computer to be SMS shutdown capable.




1. Create a "shutdown.bat" script file and save it to your hard drive.
2. Setup a Kwiry account and sync it with your Email account which you have set up in Outlook Express.
3. Create a rule in Outlook Express which will read any incoming emails that contains particular keyword and then execute the shutdown command in the text file.
4. Send a sms text with the keyword to your Kwiry account, a copy is sent to your own email account which shut down your PC.
