how would remote user start X application on local monitor
Problem:
I log in from a remote location, but I need to start an aplication
(example: emacs /home/user/documents/importantpaper & )
so that the person at home can see it and work with it. The person at
home is very old (8x, x > 5), so there is little hope of getting the
person to start the application pointing to the right position, or to
go through a sequence of C-F etc to find it.
Suppose that the output of w is
aguax@terraklin:~$ w
06:37:59 up 12:38, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.25, 0.46
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
aguax :0 - Tue18 ?xdm? 42:02 0.56s x-session-manag
aguax pts/0 :0.0 Tue18 4:51 1.16s 0.71s mutt -y
aguax pts/1 :0.0 04:40 0.00s 0.02s 0.00s w
plus some other remote user aguax in tty domain.here.com, connected in
an ssh session. Is there any way of doing this?
