Essentially, there are three possibilities:
1. Arrange for the remote machine to offer a remote shell, such as a
telnet server.
2. Arrange for the remote machine to be running some kind of remote
administration or trojan program: PCAnywhere, NetBus, Back Orifice,
etc.
3. Arrange for your chosen program to be installed on the remote
machine as a "service", so that it can be stopped/started by remote
calls to the Service Manager.
The good side is that it can be done. The bad side is that you
need to be able to run a program on the remote machine in order to
give yourself the ability to run a program on the remote machine.
