Induce Mac graphical login from SSH
- by Ben Alpert
The title says it all. Is there a way to make the loginwindow process start a user session by running a command when remotely logged in via SSH as an admin on Mac OS X?
When the machine is at the login window (no user is currently logged in), I want it to open up a user's session as if I had clicked on the username and entered a password.
Solutions that don't involve scripting the GUI are highly preferred, but this Apple KB page may be of interest for those who go that route.
