Start iTunes Remotely using ssh
Authored by: skinnyjimmy on May 13, '03 11:55:06AM

now, that only works if you are also graphically logged in (I think) - is there any way to log someone into the gui through ssh as well?

I don't think so

If you want to remotely login an account at the GUI, you need to use VNC or another remote control service. Also iTunes can't run "headless," that is, it can't run if there's no one logged in so iTunes can show its GUI.

Not quite. You are able to start the VNC server from the login screen if you ssh in as root and start it like that. You could then do whatever you need to.
