A (fairly simple?) request from a novice scripter...

Hello all --

I'm hoping this is the right forum for this question --

I'm trying to control an iTunes library on a MacMini on my home network, to allow editing from a laptop.  The MacMini serves iTunes throughout the house.  In order to complete this project, I need to be able to perform an SSH connection via AppleScript, and my skills are limited, at best.  Can I do this, and if so, how? 

With help and research, I've created an AppleScript to close iTunes, but it appears that i need to use SSH to open it, and I'm trying to wrap that SSH request in a simple AppleScript app.  Thus:

 
1) Open Terminal
2) SSH to the remote server
3) Enter the password
4) Launch iTunes (by inserting "open -a iTunes")
5) Close Terminal

I can, if necessary, eliminate the password from the account so that step 3 goes away.  I think.

Thanks.
