So I was having problems with a server I admin. It's based in another state. The local IT guy has been messing with it and took off the auto login option, which I didn't realize until after I had restarted the machine remotely.
Now, the machine is stuck at the GUI login screen and none of the login items have been launched.
I've tried to ssh and I can get into the machine, the problem is that I cannot launch any of the serving applications.
I've tried simply using the 'open' command.
open /path/to/application.app
But I get an error:
I'm now trying to use the terminal to login the correct user at the GUI level... is there a way to do this through ssh?
I don't have Timbuktu or Remote Desktop installed on this server machine yet, or my problems might be a bit easier. Any help would be appreciated.
