Something like this should do the trick :
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\WINNT\\system32\\rsh.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "machine -l mylogin ls";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
