hmh, may be you can try NRPE, which is Nagios Remote Execution  
Environment. Its a simple daemon or in your case service, which you  
install on the Windows Box. On the Linux-side, you need the Nagios  
plugin check_nrpe, which tells the service which command to run. Both  
of them should work w/o installing the whole nagios suite.
Limitation: Returned is only the exitcode, of the Windows-programm  
and the first line of its output.

See http://www.nagios.org/
