Claim 17:
18. A system for remote code activation, the system comprising:
a memory for storing executable program code; and
a processor, functionally coupled to the memory, the processor being responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the program code and operative to:
detect a probing from a remote system operating on a different platform than the system, wherein the probing is intended to identify available software applications for remote activation;
in response to the probing, provide an indication of the available software applications for remote activation;
receive a wake message over at least two transports from the remote system;
coalesce the wake message from the at least two transports to generate a single wake message, the wake message indicating a particular software application for activation on the system, wherein the particular software application is selected from the available software applications for remote activation; and
activate the particular software application indicated in the wake message, wherein the particular software application is not executing prior to activating.
