Start a shell on a remote/networked linux system???

| OK - another topic:
In our shop we have numerous servers running different vendors' apps. For
our own purposes we must capture information/data/printing from some of
these servers to parse and process on other machines. Yes, its quite
cumbersome and the existing mechanisms are confusing.
I am investigating a method where one of the apps on any given server can
run a shell script that would start yet another shell script on a
different/networked server thereby indicating that its data is ready to
be "picked up".
I assume this is possible but my brief research is coming up rather short on
substance.
Surely someone MUST have implemented something like this already so perhaps
one would be willing to share the technique and/or mechanism used to
accomplish that?
Please point me in the right direction?
Thanks a million.

rexec (and its spawn, i.e., ssh, etc)
I use rexec on all my platforms and it works well.

Set up host key authentication and use ssh.

Thanks all. I was able to get ssh working with id_key's. Works great!
