How can I use kickstart or something else at the command line to view ARD settings?

Question

I know I can use kickstart to configure Apple Remote Desktop from the command line, but, I can't find anything on the Internet or in kickstart's help message indicating how I can view the current settings from the command line. Does anyone know where I can get these settings?

Answer 1

Just check the manual:

man /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart

which reads:

sub Usage1 {
    qq{ kickstart -- Quickly uninstall, install, activate, configure, and/or restart
             components of Apple Remote Desktop without a reboot.

kickstart -uninstall -files -settings -prefs

      -install -package <path>

      -deactivate
      -activate

      -configure -users <user1,user2...>
        -access -on  -off
        -privs  -all -none
                -DeleteFiles
                -ControlObserve

                -SendFiles
                -ChangeSettings
                -ObserveOnly
                -mask <mask>

        -allowAccessFor
                -allUsers [-privs <priv options>]
                -specifiedUsers
