executing a command from tty sending it to an x display
 

i am hoping to be able to log in under ssh and run zenity (a program like xdialog) and send the command to the x display running on :0 so that it can properly open with gtk and all, not abort for lack of a display.

then when i return home to x i will have a dialog box waiting for me (reminding me of something i have to do etc)

is there any way to do this?

DISPLAY=:0.0 <x-command>

Just make sure that in the running x-session
xhost +localhost
has been run ...


Cheers,
Tink
