Launch Apple Remote Desktop via ssh
Authored by: standia on Nov 22, '04 08:20:44AM

Two comments,
First, the command requires root or SUDO access to run.
Once you are logged into the boot drive as root, I do not believe you need to enter the volume info. The Apple Support site provides the following command which I use regularly with consistent success:

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

Launch Apple Remote Desktop via ssh
Authored by: Khan SW on Aug 16, '06 07:34:26PM

A friend at another forum posted a great way to run this quickly so that you don't have to always retype it when you need to restart.

In Terminal
touch ~/.bash_profile
open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile

add the line:
alias ardstart="sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu"

Save the file.
Close the terminal window and open a new one.
Type ardstart and it will execute the command.
