One way to reproduce this: Log in to the target Mac with Remote Desktop, initiate Curtain mode, and then after finishing whatever work was to be done, log out the user on the target Mac while still under Curtain mode. My question: is there a way to successfully unlock a Mac that's stuck on the ARD lock screen, using ssh or otherwise? to tell all my running applications to gracefully quit, then I run shutdown -r now to reboot the machine. Eventually, I resort to using osascript -e. Mask the end-users screen while you perform admin duties with Curtain Mode.

My work Mac's screen shows a big lock icon and a message while I'm remotely controlling it from my home Mac using Apple Remote Desktop (ARD). I use this when I connect to my work Mac from my home Mac. If I can't disable the waking of the display, can I just have the iMac show the login screen instead of what I'm doing on the screen?

You may enable Curtain Mode and customize the displayed text in your saved screen settings, under More Settings. In Screens, you will see the remote desktop.
