What kind of remote system?

*nix?  Windows?

If the system supports the rexec protocol and the menu option can be
invoked via a command line, then you might be able to use the RUNRMTCMD
command.

Otherwise, you might be able to write a basic TCPIP program that
connects to port 22 on the remote system and invoke the command that way
... although it's not the easiest way in the world.
