'''Remote Execution''' is the execution of a program on a remote host.

** Description **

The original remote execution schemes were [telnet] and rsh, but there is no reason at all for using either of those if you can possibly use [ssh] instead.


One common approach is to drive `[ssh]` as a subprocess, often with the help
of [Expect].
