[TriLUG] Run ssh then start timer and close terminal

[Grawburg via TriLUG]

To start the program PiPresents on my Raspberry Pi I enter a slightly long command from a terminal window.  This starts the Mplayer program that is part of PiPresents, which also includes Tkinter.  Works fine if I enter it directly on the Pi.  What I'm attempting to do is ssh into this Pi (script already works) then start a 30 second timer that will open a terminal and echo the pipresents startup command. The ssh terminal needs to close before the next script runs or I get Tkinter errors.  Will somone point in the right direction, please?

Thanks,
Brian Grawburg
