Remote Control Your DHCP Connected Laptop from Your iPad
A security note here: you want to make sure that the script that you're planning to have automatically executed with root permissions is not world writable - if it is, anyone who can access your machine a little bit can easily do anything they want, since all they have to do is edit your script and then wait 10 minutes for crond to execute it with root permissions. Maybe you don't care for your setup, but since you're posting instructions for other people, it's worth at least mentioning; it doesn't take all that long to do a <code>sudo chown root:wheel scriptname</code>.

arcticmac, good catch on the security of the script. I neglected to mention that; thanks for pointing it out. I'm not entirely sure about the script running as a non-root user when no one is not logged in. I think I tested it, but it's been quite some time since I implement this. It may be worth looking into. |
