Install webmin ( http://webmin.com/ ). It doesn't take a lot of
resources, is exclusive of apache and you can make it strictly using https
Has a lot of basic modules that have saved my ass a few times. You can
restart any service, execute any linux command, alter firewall rules,
etc....look here http://webmin.com/standard.html
I install it on all of my linux servers by default, alter it's port to a
different one just to make it a little bit more elusive

As mentioned before Asterisk is down too for some reason. Anyhow, I was able to
use Terminal from within WinSCP to do a reboot. I can't believe I wasted all
day on this.
Thanks guys

Trying to find a way to restart a remote server that only gives scp access and
apache is running too.
Not unless the service that will be executing the script, Apache in this
case, has super user access, and it probably (shouldn't, and I hope for
you sake) doesn't. There are ways around this but this seems like a bad
way to go. You have SCP but not SSH access?
A system command from a call to Asterisk seems like a good way to go,
and is on topic for this list :)
