As you said use the <sshexec> task.
Here's an example :
...
<property name="sshexec.host" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.username" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.password" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.trust" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.failonerror" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.timeout" value="" />
<property name="sshexec.command" value='ps -ef | cut -d" " -f5 | grep 11875'
/>
...
<target name="sshexec" description="SSHExec">
<sshexec host="${sshexec.host}" username="${sshexec.username}" password="${
sshexec.password}" trust="${sshexec.trust}" failonerror="${
sshexec.failonerror}" timeout="${sshexec.timeout}" command="${
sshexec.command}" outputproperty="sshexec.outputproperty" />
...Use a condition to check that ${sshexec.outputproperty} !equals the empty
string...
</target>
...
