Creates a new remote Process to execute the given command. The returned process's streams exist and are connected, and execution of the process is already started. 
Params:
commandName – 
           command to execute
timeout – 
           timeout value, in seconds, for creating the remote process
Throws:
IOException – 
            may be thrown in several cases. For example, on problems
            opening input or output streams or on problems connecting or
            communicating with the remote host. For the latter two cases,
            a TransportException may be thrown (a subclass of
            java.io.IOException).
Returns:
