All,
I use ARD 3.2. to manage/configure close to 100 MAC OSX 10.4.x
desktops
and laptops (all version 3.2.1) at remote sites throughout the US.
I have always had great success closing down presentations running
on the
remote machines via the Send Unix command option and choosing "killall
"somethig"".
I have now just started to deploy machines using OSX 10.5.x and this
command no longer works even though the machine are set up using the
same
exact configuration. Does anybody know why this would be the case.
I can
look up the remote machines PID and kill it this way, but it doesn't
help
me when I need to do it to multiple machines simultaneously ( which
I can
do now with OSX 10.4.x).
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Could you lookup the PID, export out the result to the /tmp directory,
then use the next unix command to kill the PID stored in the /tmp
directory?
While not a solution, it might be a viable workaround.
