Thanks a bunch for this. My headless Mac Pro was showing a grey screen via Screen Share and it came right back after running these commands. |

Super useful indeed. I was able to use this to log into a Circle CI instance to debug an issue via reverse ssh. Wouldn't have been able to figure out what was going on without this. Thanks. |

I tested on 10.15.4. For whatever reason, -setvncpw -vncpw password seems to be setting the password to something else coz the vncviewer is getting authentication failure |
