My buildbox is doing a bit more silly walking than I indicated. Here's
the whole command chain..I'll show them on the command line, but cron
normally executes them.

  buildbot@buildbox ~
  $ ssh piglet "export DISPLAY=:0 && xhost +piglet && nohup firefox
--display :0" &

  buildbot@buildbox ~
  $ xon piglet 'firefox -remote "openurl(http://test-server/TestRunner.html)"'

  buildbot@buildbox ~
  $ ssh piglet "killall firefox"

piglet is a little old Linux box with X windows. buildbox is a
headless Solaris 9.x something or other. The command chain isn't much
longer from a typing point of view, but there are quite a few more
moving parts.

YMMV,
