Execute a shell script on a linux server

Hi,

at the moment I have written a method which put a file on a linux server. Is there any possibility to start a shell script on that server from a c# application?

If you are running some service on the Linux box that you can access.

Such as:
a webserver with a page/webservice you can query that runs the script
telnet - might be painful

Or you could write a little server app in c# (mono) that listens for a command you send to some port, and then runs the script.
