Remotley start programs on your Linux Desktop

It is very easy to start programs remotely on your windows desktop from another computer but running X11 application on Linux from another ssh session would start a new X11 session on your remote machine, that was a problem for me and here is how I solved that…..
Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. It could also send the specified command to a running screen session using -X command. so here is how to run deluge -the torrent client- using screen

  1.  
  2. yum install screen
  3. #add this command on your gnome session startup
  4. #you can find on "system -> preferences -> more preferences -> sessions -> startup programs"
  5. /usr/bin/screen -dR deluge_session
  6. #from any other ssh session you can start deluge by this command
  7. screen -dR deluge_session -X exec deluge
  8.
