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 for remote access (see section 3.7.4).

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

--->now you are on timbuktu

$ xclock

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