    Well provided you have SSH you could always do the following...

       user at boxA$ ssh -T user at boxB < /path/to/script/on/boxA

    This should pass the contents of the script that is redirected over
the SSH channel and execute it within a tty. Alternatively you could
redirect the output back to a file on box like such:

       user at boxA$ ssh -T user at boxB < /path/to/script > /path/to/file
