remote controlscreen-sharing
There is a computer I don't have immediate access to that I cannot screenshare with it. I have an account on the computer and have screenshared before with it.
I believe some setting has been changed to deactivate screensharing.
Is there a way to activate screensharing through ssh?
My computer is OS 10.6.8. I'm not sure what the other one is but probably the same.
in Lion this is possible, but don't remember seeing this anywhere in previous versions. When you start a screen sharing session it will ask you how you want to view the remote session.
ssh into the remote Mac and kill the screensharingd daemon.
$ ps ax | grep screen
1234 ?? Ss 0:00.02 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/screensharingd.bundle/Contents/MacOS/screensharingd
$ sudo kill 1234
It works for me. I have Mac OS X Lion on both local and remote computers.
