Notepad on Linux on Windows? Good luck there.

I doubt you could start anything on a Linux system using VBScript or
WSH, but Perl or any of the Linux scripting languages may work. Try
asking in groups related to those scripting technologies.

If you got Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com) then you could set up rsh. I
think there's also an rsh from Microsoft. If that were so then it'd be
"rsh <windowsbox> notepad".
