1. A local operator-controlled work machine, comprising:
a controllable subsystem;
an operator interface in an operator compartment of the work machine;
a data store;
wakeup logic that generates a wakeup signal, based on an update call received from a remote machine configuration system that is located remotely from the work machine while the local operator-controlled work machine is turned off;
a configurable control system that receives the wakeup signal and powers up the operator interface on the work machine to allow remote access to the configurable control system while the local operator-controlled work machine is turned off;
operator interface control logic configured to receive new control data from the remote machine configuration system and control the operator interface to store the new control data in the data store while the local operator-controlled work machine is turned off;
a shutdown trigger detector configured to detect a shutdown control signal received from the remote machine configuration system and to shutdown the operator interface based on the shutdown control signal while the local operator-controlled machine is turned off; and
a control signal generator that accesses the data store, when an operator powers up the local operator-controlled work machine and generates control signals to control the controllable subsystem based on the new control data.
