Simple Socket Guidance

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project in which I need to run a process on
one machine that can invoke a process on another machine over the
internet. For example, pressing [enter] on my machine will run a script
on another machine (with static IP) arbitrarily far away.

I'm new to this sort of coding, so I just wanted to get a rough idea
what I should be diving into. This would be the job for a socket,
correct? Or servlet? Am I right in looking at Ruby and Python? If you
could just steer me in the right direction, I can manage. Thanks a lot.

.
