SSH Login w/ Terminal

Hey everyone;

Twice a day I need to login to an apache server using ssh and run a "restart_apache" command.

What I was hoping to find is a script that can log me in (username and password automated), run the command then log me out.

Can anyone help me out please.

Use ssh via rsa key-gen and then you can do something like..

ssh user@host 'command'

btw, why can't you just add restart_apache to crontab on the local machine?
