Hi,
I have a Java application (called JA) running in machine A at home. Machine B is at my work, i'd like to run JA from B, but don't like the graphics to be displayed on B (because it would take like forever).
Is there a way to configure SSH, so that i can run JA quitely in A, without display anything in B ?

Thanks in advanced
Cheers

Connect with "ssh -x A" to explicitly disable X forwarding, "export DISPLAY=:0" to set your display environment variable, then X programs should display on A.

I tested between my desktop and laptop and the above method worked.

It seems to have a problem when machine A went on to screen-saving mode. More details: i left A running on the morning, and tried to run the application from B in the afternoon, but i didn't work. When i got home, the machine was on screen-saving mode, and the application was pending, until i moved the mouse.

Is there a way (rather than disable the screensaver) to fix this ?

Cheers
