There's not need for an SSH server on the Windows box. You only need
the client, as the login is going from Windows to Linux.
To execute a script instead of xterm, just run the script instead! :)
In your command above, forget the "DISPLAY" stuff and put whatever the
name of the command you want to run inside "command". In most cases,
a simple "ssh user AT hostname command" would suffice. Once you have the
ssh keys set up, you don't even need a password.
Once that is done and working, if you want to run it automatically,
look into "cron".
