Chrome Remote Desktop Host Offline
Say I was using Chrome Remote Desktop and remotely killed the host process on accident, causing me to get kicked off. However I still have SSH/terminal/command-line access. How can I relaunch the service so I can connect again?
Also, is it possible to install or reinstall Chrome Remote Desktop via SSH?
