So, the issue was raised today "hey, I've got a long running deferred job that I need to make sure completes and does not get killed." This code will send you a text message when it is finished running. Note my carrier is AT&T and you will have to locate your phone's own email address (see this article: http://www.popularmechanics.co...ology/how-to/4318204 for an explanation and small list of popular carriers' default domains and naming structures).

Thanks for sharing this - I would love to make it work.

I get this error, probably because I do not have an email server set up:

EDAMAIL: Communication node is not found.
 (ICM18822) Communication Error

I think that there is some setup, i.e. the mail server address.

Great idea ABT, Good One
