[Solved]Run xorg conditionally depending on local or remote login

Here's the situation,

When i am at home i like to start xorg upon login so i ve added the following line at the bottom of my .profile

startx

What i would like to achieve is when i try to ssh my box remotely, i want that line ignored. is there anyway to do this?

thank you all

This might work, but I would put it in $HOME/.bashrc, not in $HOME/.profile:
Put it somewhere near the end of .bashrc

function ontty1 ()
{
    RESULT=$(tty|sed 's/\/dev\///');
    [[ $RESULT == 'tty1' ]] && return 0 || return 1
}
if ontty1; then startx; fi
