I've found rsh (or remsh) to be *extremely* portable.  You may be able to
get away with popen() for simple cases; use
pipe/fork/exec/dup/select/read/waitpid when more control is needed.

By extremely portable, I mean AIX, ConvexOS, Digital UNIX, HI-OSF/1-MJ,
HP-UX, Linux, IRIX, IRIX64, Solaris, SPP-UX, SunOS, SuperUX, UNICOS, and
UXP/V.

To develop the code, forget the rsh and just try to run the target script on
the local machine.  When that works, add the rsh/remsh to the exec() and
you're in business.
