Kickstart mac screen sharing

Great trick to start up Mac screen sharing remotely via Terminal from MacOSXHints.

The screen sharing system component uses launchd to monitor its state. This means that enabling and disabling the feature as simple as adding a file in /Library/Preferences.

cd /Library/Preferences
echo -n enabled > com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd

To disable, simply delete the file.
