Restart Timbuktu via SSH on OS X [solved]
I found this hint on macosxhints.com a while ago but keep having to dig around to find it again, so I’m reposting it here.
If Timbuktu locks up on your computer when you’re away on you and you have SSH enabled, you’re in luck: First, ssh in, and type:
ps -aux | grep -i timbuktu
Note: make sure your terminal window is wide enough or ps ’s output will not display the full path of the processes running and it won’t match. Use ps -aux and search manually if the grep doesn’t find anything.
look for a process ID for timbuktu. Then type:
sudo kill ###
where ### is the process ID.
Finally, paste this in to restart timbuktu:
sudo ‘/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/TimbuktuInstaller’ ‘/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app’
You should be in business!
Just a note, Timbuktu 8.5 seems to hang up a lot less but occasionally this is still necessary.
