Looking for something that allows me to do remote calls

[Dave Cramer]

I'd like to get various pieces of information such as iptables from a
machine remotely, using a java program.

One option is to use ssh to make calls, but determining when it is done is
problematic. IE you can wait for a certain amount of time for all of the
output, but that just seems fraught with problems.

Another option is to use NRPE or the like to make calls remotely.

Is there something out there that does this already ?
