It'd be possible to fire a Cygwin shell, or use a command-line SSH tool
on the Windows box, just like you would on Linux.

In fact, I think I did something like that at work, though I think in the
end I was firing off BATch files, rather than SHell scripts, but either way,
it was doing it over SSH.
