I access my Mac remotely through PuTTY and VNC (using SSH). I just upgraded to Leopard, and on this business trip, Leopard seems to have hung as it flips into the screen saver (it is using the iTunes album art, and I just get the screen saying "Looking for Songs", and cannot exit. PuTTY still gives me access to the terminal, and this is still working and responding fine, so I know the Mac itself is still running fine. As a *nix novice, is there a command I can run in the terminal to reset Leopard? (Or even restart the machine!) so I can restore my remote access? Thanks! CSG

Can anyone recommend easy to install, cross platform monitoring software for Mac OS X - that is, something that would allow a parent, employer or teacher to, from their PC, monitor the screen of a Macintosh? Will remote desktop do this? Is it relatively easy to install?
