You could probably use buildbot.steps.transfer.RemoteCommand ..

"""
I represent a single command to be run on the slave. I handle the
details of reliably gathering status updates from the slave (acknowledging
each), and (eventually, in a future release) recovering from interrupted
builds. This is the master-side object that is known to the slave-side
L{buildbot.slave.bot.SlaveBuilder}, to which status updates are
sent.
"""

or write a command that simply runs what you want on the slave.

I hope that helps. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.
