Selenium is for automating test cases using browser. Hence, it can work only on browsers, not on operating systems.

If you want to play with *nix operating systems by remotely logging into them with putty and run *nix commands using java code, I would recommend using below open source libraries.

sshj
jcraft

If you wish to use cygwin for running *nix commands, you can take advantage of Java RunTime as discussed here

Hope this helps! Good luck.
