It seems just using 'rsh' should work. Rick

You would register a Python COM object on each machine, then you could use win32com.client.DispatchEx() to invoke and call it. IIRC, the objects being registered will require a custom clsctx which includes pythoncom.CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER. "Python Programming on Win32" demonstrates how to do all this. Another fairly reliable technique would be to install a service on each machine, and use XMLRPC or some such to communicate. This service could then spawn child processes as each request came in, and would not rely on having a user logged in. Python provides most of the building blocks you need if you are happy to roll your own.
