There are many programs that do that kind of thing, you have to be more
specific about why you need it.

You have to realize that windows is an operating system designed to run
games on isolated personal computers. Networking and multi-user facilities
were added later, forcefully and without a deep design change that would
have hindered the core gaming features. Unix-based systems have been
multi-user and networked right from the start, because that is what you need
to run the Space Travel game on a PDP-7.

Therefore, on Unix, you can use the resources of a remote computer without
actually annoying its console user by moving the mouse cursor for them, that
would make them try to put the red queen on the black ten, and this is a big
no, with a risk of BSOD.
