xexec is a client/server system to locate a program via the X11 protocol and spawn it.

It is useful for loading the Web browser on your machine from a program run on a remote host.

Usage:

hosta$ xlisten open-url /bin/sh -c 'htmlview "$CMD"'
hostb$ xexec open-url http://www.google.com/

note that your "exe" for xlisten must return before xlisten responds. any output written to stdout will be passed back to xexec.
