I guess we don't understand exactly why you can't remote-execute the
commands using the regular ssh command, as in:

     ssh <somehost> <somecommand>

If you need to do this from within a program, why not use something like:

     system("ssh somehost somecommand");

or fork-and-exec with appropriate duplication of stdin/stdout/stderr
for the parent to read any output. Standard C-library stuff.
