I can access my linux box by ssh and by vnc. I want to run a GUI application, but directly from ssh, I don't want to access through VNC and click around. So, after logging in using ssh, I want to issue a magic command, so that when I log in through VNC I will see my GUI app running. How can I do this?

edit:

The linux box have X server running on it. I need to automate restarting a GUI application. I want to do it without any kind of GUI interaction. What I need:

  1. login through ssh on SERVER
  2. run my GUI app by forcing it to bind to X server running on SERVER
  3. ???
  4. PROFIT!
