I'm working with an api that requires an app to be started, the app runs a GUI on linux.
I need to punsh in some login information and then hide the app.
Is there a way I can go to the machine start the GUI and then hide it, log out, and have other users log in with out having the GUI shown, but still having the app running?

SSH, the Secure Shell, supports remote login and command-line or GUI access across the network through encrypted tunnels protected by public-key cryptography.
Ubuntu Server is a variant of the Ubuntu OS that does not include a graphical user interface (GUI) by default. GUI applications consume system resources needed for server-oriented tasks, so Linux server distributions usually avoid a GUI in favor of the command-line terminal.
Linux GUI (Graphical User Interface) is defined as a utility or feature which supports an interface for users and allows users to interact with the system and takes help from windows, icons, graphics, etc., and responds to the manipulation of mouse and keyboard.
