Using kickstart
The kickstart command-line utility is embedded within the Apple Remote Desktop
client software. It lets you install, uninstall, activate, congure, and restart components
of Apple Remote Desktop without restarting the computer. You can congure all the
features found in the Remote Desktop section of the Sharing System Preferences.
The kickstart utility can be used with SSH to congure remote computers,
including Xserves. The kickstart utility is located at:/System/Library/CoreServices/
RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart.
The syntax and list of actions possible with kickstart are available by running
kickstart as follows:
$sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/
Contents/Resources/kickstart -help
You can use the sudo command with an administrator account to use the kickstart
utility, or you can use the Send UNIX Command. All commands presented in this
section should be typed as one line of text. It’s OK if the text wraps as you enter it; just
be sure not to enter Return characters.
