Is it possible to start Teamviewer, to accept connections, from commandline?
There is a question on how to start, Teamviewer from commandline, to make outward connections, however I want to start the Teamviewer from commandline (So it can accept incoming connections).
Is this possible? If so, can anyone give some information? I have not found it anywhere on Teamviewers support site, and have tried different ways so far.
NB: OS is OS X 10.6.8, and TeamViewer is TV8.
thanks

As said on http://steronius.blogspot.com/2014/02/replacing-logmein-with-teamviewer-on.html:
This can be done with OSX, but there seems to be a bug that requires a particular work-around that I was lucky to notice. TeamViewer will need to be run twice -- once as sudo, and another as the user:
SSH into the OSX machine and run TeamViewer like so:
sudo /Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer
It should fail and report: com.teamviewer.desktop: Invalid argument com.teamviewer.teamviewer: Invalid argument
Now run it again without sudo:
/Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer
This should launch TeamViewer and make it ready for a client connection.
If for some reason it fails to launch, try setting the display first with:
export DISPLAY=:0
Then, to get your TeamViewer ID do:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.teamviewer.teamviewer9 ClientID
Just tested this on OS X Lion.
