were both learning here, ive never used it before.  tried it just now to
my myth server like ssh -Y server to forward x thinking when i ran nohup
firefox it would forward it to me, but it didnt.  but checking to see if
firefox was running, and it was (ps aux | firefox)  what are you trying
to do?  what do you want to run?
