Finally, if you have iCloud Back-to-My-Mac enabled, this will put the remote system in your Finder side-bar even when you are away from home (assuming all the routers and such play nice). Or using iChat or Messages, initiate a Screen Sharing session that way. Or once you have started one Screen Sharing session, while it is running, control-click on the Screen Sharing icon on the Dock -> Options -> Keep in Dock, then just double click on the Dock icon when you want to start a screen sharing session.
Or from a Terminal session "open vnc://other_system.local". local name can be seen in the other system's System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer name field (read the text under the computer name), or you could use vnc://nn.nn.nn.nn address. Using the built-in Screen Sharing client can be done by clicking on the remote host name in the Finder side-bar, or by using Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://other_system.local (where the. You are better off enabling System Preferences -> Screen Sharing if all you want to do is VNC via 3rd party VNC client, or use the Mac OS X built-in Screen Sharing client. Unless you have the Apple Remote Desktop application, which you can buy from Apple, there is no reason to enable System Preferences -> Remote Management. So once you get to the remote desktop, I guess you can alway shutdown / reboot, regardless of the "Restart and shutdown" setting. I did notice that I can also connect using a free VNC viewer once the Remote Desktop is enabled (with the VNC password option).
