Enable Remote Desktop Sharing on MAC OSX 10.7 From the CLI

I recently had an issue with a customer where I needed to enable remote screen sharing (VNC) on a MAC OSX server from an SSH terminal.

Thanks to this post, I was able to get it started up with this command.

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -restart -agent -privs -all 

To connect from a MAC client, open Finder, Go, Connect to Server, and type something like the following:

vnc://x.x.x.x
