Run an App through SSH

[bmcgonag]

Is there a way to start an app on my iMac when connected to it through SSH?

I actually want to start my VNC server on the iMac when connected remotely thorugh SSH.

Thanks

If it is a GUI-Application you can start it with the open command

open /Applications/Address\ Book.app/

starts Address Book.

If it is a system service just use the service command:

service name [start/stop]

Use service --list to find out the service names on your system.
