WWDC Demo: Server Admin Remote, a remote server admin tool for iPhone

Seems a little redundant, doesn't it? What else would an app named Server Admin Remote do? Well anyway, if you're in the market for something to remotely administer your servers (to a point), particularly Mac OS X servers, this is one handy and powerful tool. View logs, enable services, even reboot the server all from your iPhone (or iPod touch). Plus, there's support for multiple server instances, which you switch between just like in Tweetdeck -- a quick swipe left or right does the trick.

Server Admin Remote (iTunes link) is currently $7.99. We're planning to have a more in-depth look later, so stay tuned.

This concludes our WWDC video series. Thanks to all the developers kind enough to stop by and show what they are doing. Your efforts make Apple's desktop and mobile platforms truly amazing.

Yup, I'd also *KILL* for a WGM app for the iPhone / iPod Touch!!

Actually, its quite amazing that Apple doesn't supply one (even if the charged for it)! Perhaps, its an indication of how un-seriously Apple takes their servers & server software.

Awesome, if your office allows wifi.

Still waiting for an iPhone / Touch ethernet adapter - then I could jack in under a cubical and remote admin instead of going all the way back to my office

Maybe now that Apple has opened up iPhone apps to access the dock connector, someone could pull it off - even if it needs a dongle for some added components, it would still be smaller than dragging around a laptop or going back to my desk.
