Headless mac

Given that I can’t plug HD tv and the Mac in simultaneously, I couldn’t disconnect Caroline’s iPod safely. To add to the fun its screen resolution was off kilter, so I couldn’t VNC to it.So, log in to the mac remotely using SSH. Use Curl to download a command line screen resolution utility (curl URL -o “file”) and then mount the image (hdutil attach “file”) run the utility (cscreen -d 32 -x 1024 -y 768 -r 60) and you’re sorted for VNC. Neat.
