<p>extracted from parent article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The easier method of running a remote X session requires just a single optional argument to [[ssh]]:<br /> * ssh -X {{arg|account}}@{{arg|machine}} {{optarg|&lt;u&gt;command&lt;/u&gt;}}<br /> <br /> This causes any X commands invoked during the remote session to run using your local machine&#039;s X server.<br /> <br /> Note that some [[GUI]] applications, including [[Firefox]] and [[Thunderbird]], are configured to look for a locally-running copy and, if found, bring that to the foreground instead of running on the remote system and merely &#039;&#039;displaying&#039;&#039; locally. Such applications typically have command-line options to suppress this behavior, e.g.:<br /> * &lt;code&gt;firefox --no-remote&lt;/code&gt;<br /> * &lt;code&gt;thunderbird --no-remote&lt;/code&gt;</div>
