Hi,

Have you tried the putty/plink freeware ssh/telnet package, it's available at:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

You can send command line options to the putty program via the plink console program.

i.e.

plink myname@unixhost "acommand"

or

plink -ssh myname@unixhost "accomand" to enable ssh.

The only downside is that the user will still have to enter a password.

Hope this helps.
