Can I Configure Splashtop Personal For Mac
I am now running on Mavericks but finally got fed up with the problem of the service no longer responding. I am remote right now and cannot tell you all the premutations this will support but I have had the following just checked out. Scenario: Remote access shows computer off line. It is a Mac Mini so WOL does not work. I do have SSH access to get a command line prompt. Gain access and run 'sudo bash' giving you root access. Next enter 'ps -ef grep -i splash'.
Splashtop Desktop App
This will list the current processes with the text 'splash' in the name. Find the line with '/Applications/Splashtop Streamer.app/Contents/MacOS/Splashtop Streamer RunAtLogin'. Now look at the SECOND number at the beginning of the line. It will be larger then the first. This is the PID or process ID. Run 'kill -1 PID'.
PID being the number you got from the previous step. Have the local Splashtop Client look for your hosts again. It should now show on line.
The command 'kill -1 PID' basically says to the running process to wake up. In this case, it will actually exit but the Splashtop daemon respawns or at least begins to answer queries. Your mileage may vary, -Tim.
