title: launch putty from shell script
body: <p>I have written a shell script that gives user a list of accounts to log-in and when the user selects an account,he/she gets logged into the selected account via ssh.The script is run from master account and has password-less ssh connectivity with all the other accounts in the list(slaves).Instead of ssh connection from the master I would like to <code>launch another putty session</code> with slave account details passed as arguments.How can I achieve this ?</p>
  
  <p>One thing that comes to my mind is that if I can write a batch file(my users use windows) that takes account information as arguments.And this batch <strong>script</strong> could be called inside the unix script(is this possible).So unix script will execute the batch file on windows via ssh and in the process it will also pass the parameters(server details) to putty.</p>
  
  <p>Or is there any other better way ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>To ssh from linux machine to windows machine,is it compulsary to host some kind of server(i.e. telnet, ssh, ftp or any other kind of server) on Windows machine ?</p>
