If you really want to go pretty simple you could probably just set up something like the following:
1) Set up a website on each Mac; enable Web Sharing.
2) Have a button on said site trigger the software update command indicated above. (I'm not sure HOW to do that part exactly although I think it can be done as with a little ingenuity and CGI + Perl - now I'm indicating how dated my web work is!)
Chakravartin's advice is pretty good, actually; the hardest part for you in that case will be getting the guy an SSH client - believe it or not, it's NOT built into Windows! Putty is a commonly used one.
