First of all, you're probably going to use Telnet on the client side,
unless you plan to develop a specialized client for every machine.
Secondly, anything you do with ARexx would have to be a permanently
running script listening with the TCP: device, which would have to be
started by some other script. It's a lot simpler just to have a program
or script activated from InetD. It might not even ned to have "commands",
since it could simply take action in response to the incoming connection.
Make sure you firewall this. :-)
