10.6: Start screen sharing remotely in Terminal
Authored by: SuperSugar on Feb 29, '12 03:36:10PM

I use this method of activating screen sharing pretty frequently on various snow leopard machines. Having only remote login active is preferable to me. I have found that simply creating the ScreenSharing.launchd file is enough to activate it. So there is no need to echo "enabled" and feed it into the file, simply run this command from root:

$ touch /private/etc/ScreenSharing.launchd or $ touch /etc/ScreenSharing.launchd

/etc is a symbolic link to /private/etc (at least <10.7... not sure about 10.7-10.8) so either path works.
