<p>This is a neat trick that lets you mute your Mac from your iPhone. Basically you contain a few system volume commands in a PHP script and enable web sharing on your Mac, then save that web link on your <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> as a bookmark. You then launch the bookmarks to mute or change the Macs system volume. Simple but effective.</p>

<p>We’ve discussed how to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2007/04/28/change-the-system-volume-from-the-command-line/">change the Mac sound volume from the command line</a> before and this tip uses the same commands to remotely adjust the system volume. </p>
