By using ~/.ssh/authorised_keys[2] and ssh-keygen you can create public/private keys
to allow passwordless login.

ssh freebsd-host 'shell command line'

the sheel command line would probably want to use nohup and have a & to background
the process so that the ssh can complete.

I have never used ssh on windows but it works well from unix to unix.
