Launching programs from the command line

twyg

Back to Mac Baby!
Ok... either this is a really simple question, or it's a really complicated one.

Basically I run a few small networks amongst a few clients. It would be nice to be able to ssh in to the server, and from there ssh into each individual machine from home... I've run around and turned on all the appropriate channels to make sure that I can log in to all the machines.
And they're all behind the firewall ;)

So here's the question, say someone wants a program open on the server, how do I open said program from the command line?

I've used vnc to great effect, but after having the server software on for about 3 weeks it finally sprung a memory leak and screwed everything up, so I'm nervous to leave it on again. That's why I'd like to open an .app from the command line as well.

Thanks in advance
 
I believe the command you are looking for is open.

e.g.

open safari.app
open itunes.app

you must put the .app at the end
