Executable Accounts are designed to allow you to run jobs or processes on a server without using any remote access tools. A job is defined in advance on the server and it can be executed by sending an email to the Executable Account.
Be aware that the process must exit correctly by itself without any need for user input, so the Server can complete the task correctly.
It is highly recommended that a password is set for the Executable Account and/or Rules are set up to restrict email access to the account.

Do not forget that templates can be set up to streamline the definition of accounts, see Account Templates. |
