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.

Code:

DISPLAY="host:0.0" firefox # or whatever you want to run
