Have you ever been in a situation where you had to shut down your Mac, but you weren’t physically present to do so? Well, worry not, as there is an easy solution to this problem. In this tutorial, we will show you how to remotely shut down your Mac using a simple email.
To get started, open the Script Editor application on your Mac. Here, you need to write a simple command to tell the Finder application to shut down. Once you have written the command, save the file in any location of your choice.
After saving the file, copy it to another location – your user library, username library, application scripts, and then com.apple.mail. In this location, you need to paste the previously saved script.
Now, return to your default mail app and configure it using your Gmail or the email client of your choice. Next, set up a rule that will execute the previously saved script. The rule should be set up such that when your Mac receives an email with the subject “Shut Down,” it will shut down the computer.
With these steps, you can now use your mobile device or any other device with email capabilities to send an email with the subject “Shut Down” to your Mac, and it will automatically shut down.
This solution is especially helpful when you’re not physically present to shut down your Mac. You can control your Mac remotely, shut it down from the office or any remote location.
In conclusion, we have shown you a simple way to remotely shut down your Mac using a simple email. With these steps, you can manage your Mac remotely, and easily shut it down from any location.
