                          I want to restart a MacMini with macOS Sierra in safe mode, but I have only remote access.

You can do this with this:

    sudo nvram boot-args="-x"

(source: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/HT201262) .

But for macOS Sierra this gives an error:

 > nvram: Error setting variable - 'boot-args': (iokit/common) not permitted

You have to start in RecoveryMode to be able to do this.

Is there a way to restart in Safe Mode remotely?
