Using ssh to run a program on a remote computer



I need to start camstream from an ssh session on my computer at work. This allows me to change the settings through its X11 gui. (This is not entirely convenient because it is very slow over a dial up line, but it works - just barely.) The problem is, I want to then restart camstream on the remote computer (at home) but have the display show up on the remote computer (at home, not the computer at work I'm connecting from). I tried running

> ssh -x -l me xx.xx.xx.xx

but I get an error. Here is what happens if I try to run xclock using "ssh -x ...":
