Apple Remote Desktop 3
Remote Administration
New in Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can save task settings as templates in the Task
Template menu, making it easy to apply them at a later time. For the Send UNIX task,
the Task Template menu comes populated with more than 30 sample scripts—just
add your favorites to the list for convenient access.
You can use more than a dozen commands securely on one or more remote Mac OS X
client systems, including:
• Sleep, wake, restart, and shut down
• Power on computers that feature Lights Out Management
• Log out users
• Open files and applications
• Empty Trash
• Lock and unlock screens with a custom or default image
• Rename computers, with the option of adding unique numbers
• Set startup disk
• Send and execute remote shell scripts or UNIX commands
With all Apple Remote Desktop commands, you can schedule tasks for a future date
and time, choose a frequency for repeating the tasks, or save them—complete with
current configuration and target computers—for later use.
