Apple Script works only with physical keyboard connected (Mojave)

I'm trying to activate the Target Display Mode for my iMac (macOS 10.11) using SSH from my MacBook (macOS 10.14). I tried to execute the script via the terminal and Automator.app.
The script is:



osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 144 using command down'


However, the script only works when my iMac is connected to a physical keyboard. Is there any workaround for using the script without a connected keyboard?

          Node.js Script on GitHub Pages or Amazon S3

          圖片
          0 I'm wondering if I can run a Node.js script in my Jekyll page from GitHub Pages or Amazon S3? I think it can't run on GitHub Pages since it doesn't support server side code. Not too sure. The code is below: var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY').base('appAnZVyYqusNPV5Q'); base('Invitee list').select( // Selecting the first 3 records in Complete list: maxRecords: 3, view: "Complete list" ).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) // This function (`page`) will get called for each page of records. records.forEach(function(record) console.log('Retrieved', record.get('Email')); ); // To fetch the next page of records, call `fetchNextPage`. // If there are more records, `page` will get called again. // If there are no more records, `done` will get called. fetchNextPage(); , function done(err) if (err) console.error(err); return; ); node.js
