Technical Advice

There is much discussion and lots of posts on how to accomplish this, but this is what works:


 

SSH into the remote host, then enter:
    sudo '/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/TimbuktuInstaller' '/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app'

You'll see the Timbuktu host killed and restarted, allowing you to connect via Timbuktu again.

bilbo:~ gtadmin$ sudo '/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/TimbuktuInstaller' '/Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app'

Password:
Replacing existing host.
Killed Timbuktu Host Menu (pid=1967).
Waiting for host to come up.

Installing StartupItem or SystemLoginItem.

Cudos to thread on MacWorld.com and msilverman for the solution.
