Provided the remote system is running a service to execute commands
submitted remotely, yes. (If not, it'll be difficult for anything to run
commands remotely, unless you can contact the machine via magic
telepathy). Exactly how you might do this would depend on what
service the system is running.

One: He's told us nothing about the remote system. If it's not running
sshd, ssh isn't gonna do him much good.

Two: Why screw around with system() when you have Net::SSH:erl?
