    Is there a Terminal command that will let me start an application or service from the Terminal window?

    I use Timbuktu (TB2) to control apx 50 Macs. When OSX boots, Timbuktu Pro starts a service that allows me to connect remotely to the Logon screen and all is well.

    But often after running a software or security update that patches the OS and requires a restart, the TB2 service will not start after that restart. I have to have someone physically go to the machine, log in, and boot the TB2 app. This then starts the service and I can once again get in. If I could start this service some how from the Terminal using Remote login life would be much simpler. Thanks for any and all help!

    Hi,

    If you go ‘cat /Library/StartupItems/TimbuktuStartup/TimbuktuStartup’ you will see the exact command required.

    '/Applications/Utilities/Timbuktu 6/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Host Relauncher' '/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp'      '/Applications/Utilities/Timbuktu 6/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Timbuktu Extension'

    and be very careful to keep those quotes in place.
