If you are an expert on linux and shell programming, then this is very much
doable. Install linux on your PC, run procmail, and create a script
that reacts, say, to subject lines of e-mails, e.g.

		      Subject: password "linux command"

Then e-mail this to your linux system from your palm.

The linux command could be also a shell script.
