Take John's script and insert the following code after 'end repeat' and
before 'end tell' in the 'tell application' block:
set startSSH to "/sbin/service ssh start"
set unixCommand to make new send unix command task with properties¬
{showing output:true, user:"root", script:startSSH}
set doUnixCommand to execute unixCommand on theComputers
That should do the trick.
