Oh yes, use perl and Net::SSH::Perl from CPAN.
It's a pain to build--> many, many requirements, but
it works very nice for this type of thing. It's a
complete ssh implementation, you don't even need
openssh to install it I believe. It can do things
like go interactive, pass username/password, return
good return codes, stderr, stdout, etc.
Contact me off-list if you need help building it.
It's easier to build on linux than Solaris. But I've
used it on both.
