Command to run program on a specific display?

I'm looking for a command that does this basically:

indisplay.sh cmd display

Code:

#!/bin/bash



DISPLAYTMP=$DISPLAY

export DISPLAY=$2

(eval $1)&

export DISPLAY=$DISPLAYTMP

Yes, I realize I just wrote myself a shell script that does what I'm asking for, but this seems so basic there must be a default command for it.
