Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for remote control of a processing system by receiving a generic message from a message source and extracting from the generic message a source and instructions describing the control of the remote processing system. The remote processing system is the controlled in a manner specified by the instructions extracted from the generic message so as to provide processing results. A generic message containing the processing results may then be generated and transmitted to the source of the generic message. Preferably, the generic message is an e-mail message.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a computer system that can control a program to be executed by a server, even when special remote control software is not available at a remote control terminal.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a computer system that, while not requiring special software, can obtain processing results from a remote controlled server.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a computer system that can remotely control a server even when the memory capacity of a remote control terminal is small.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a computer system that can remotely control a server even when a remote control terminal cannot prepare and handle a file.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a remote control system whose employment is not dependent on the platform of the remote control terminal.
It is a still further object of the present invention to reduce the input required by a remote control terminal for the exercise of the remote control function.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a fast remote control system that reduces the quantity of data exchanged between a remote control terminal and a remotely controlled server during a remote control operation.
It is yet one further object of the present invention to provide a remote control system that can dynamically alter a remote control process currently desired by a user and execute it.
These and other objects of the present invention are provided by methods, systems and computer program products for remote control of a processing system by receiving a generic message from a message source and extracting from the generic message a source and instructions describing the control of the remote processing system.
The remote processing system is the controlled in a manner specified by the instructions extracted from the generic message so as to provide processing results
