Your idea is sound, your syntax is not. If I create a script in my chroot (called, in this case, "hepiphany" for "hildon epiphany") with two lines,

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
epiphany

This works as one long command:

Code:

ssh root@localhost 'debian hepiphany'

If I make the last line of my "debian" script say:

Code:

chroot /opt $1 $2 $3

I can do this, and it returns no errors, it just doesn't do anything.

Code:

ssh root@localhost 'debian /bin/bash -c "DISPLAY=:0 epiphany"'

EDIT: Ok, I figured a hackish way to do it. I created a script in my chroot called "hilda" that looks like this:

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
exec $1 $2 $3

Now I can do the following, and it works:

Code:

ssh root@localhost 'debian hilda epiphany'
