How to run apps on remote computer???

[hot_ice]

Hi...
Well, I've managed to log on to remote computers (using ssh) and copy files (using scp) etc... But how can I run programs on to the remote machine using command line interface??? Thx!

Aren't you given a command line interface when you log in via ssh?

If you want to run GUI apps on the remote computer, use the -X option with ssh to allow X forwarding. Remeber this should be enabled in the host computer first. Edit /etc/sshd_config on the host uncommenting this part

X11Forwarding yes

and restart your ssh daemon.

rcsshd restart

or

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Well, I will preferably stick to CLI mode... I've managed to log on to remote computer using "ssh"... but the question remains, how to run apps using cli mode? By the way, I've never run any apps on my terminal using CLI mode yet, simply because I do not know how to do it... After all I'm a newbie... Please help me in this regard... OK, tell me one thing, how to run apps on ones own terminal in CLI mode? Thx!!!

I don't think I understand. You just type the name of the app you want. Do you use the terminal much, or do you have any experience with DOS? This link is a good starting point if you aren't sure.
