Depends on what CiscoWorks you're talking about. I have the unfortunate
displeasure of owning VMS and it does SSH into various boxes for various
things. Now if it just did what it's supposed to do... ;-)

Joe,

Nothing to do with SSH actually. Alot to do with SNMP or automating
interactive scripts.

I like SNMP.

Remember a little while back I mentioned RANCID here, well you can use it to
push configs automatically.

Solarwinds has a product called Cirrus that does the same thing for
Configutarion Management.

The company that makes AdventNet has an offering as well.

There are others no doubt but this will give you a place to start.

If you have a *Nix background look at RANCID, if you don't have *Nix
background it may just be the incentive you have been looking for.

Good Luck!
