Actually, smscon would have been perfect in your case: send an sms with the location code-word and the receiving n900 switches on the gps, takes a fix and sends lat/long to you by sms along with a url to see the location on a map. Gps then switches off, smscon awaits your further instructions. Can also be asked to send interval tracking data.

Thanks for other info from folk....
