Answer 1

Command line support for linux is added to teamviewer in version 11. In headless systems, you can setup teamviewer and control them.

Answer 2

Try directly typing in: /Applications/TeamViewer\ 8/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer, of course you need to adjust whatever suitable on your Mac, just to specify the location of TeamViewer.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

I have sometimes to reset freezed TV on OSx, and find that on recents setups I find a folder Applications/TeamViewerHost.app (only as root otherwise it is hidden)

Answer 5

I am following up with @Queenvictoria's comment on @Aldekein's answer.

As mentioned, you can use take a screenshot of TeamViewer with:

osascript -e 'tell application "TeamViewer" to activate' && screencapture ~/Desktop/teamviewer.jpg

However, email servers usually don't trust email coming from non-commercial sources. So my solution to receiving the screenshot to use SCP.

scp [user]@host:/Users/[user]/Desktop/teamviewer.jpg ~/Desktop/

Answer 6

Some procceses are not correctly restarted after restart the daemon, in ubuntu 14.04 I kill the proccesses before restarting teamviewer:

Try something like:

sudo ps -afuwwwwwwx | grep -i "teamviewer" | sed -r "s/^([^\ ]+[\ ]+([0-9]+).+)$/\2/g" | xargs -i sudo kill {}

sudo teamviewer --daemon restart
