Running remote graphical programs

X Windows allows the local display of graphics from a program running remotely on another machine if the remote machine is given permission to display locally. The easiest way to do this is to use the ssh program with the -Y option for remote access (see Section 3.5.3).

[alice@onyx]: ssh -Y server.timbuktu.edu

--->now you are on timbuktu

$ xclock

--> the graphical clock shows up on the screen on your local computer
