Hmmm... % I`m trying to write a small script / program to shutdown a linux box % remotely. That sounds easy. Why not a secure & password-locked web page that takes a challenge-response password and then uses sudo to execute a reboot? You can do any number of things to ensure a one-time use of a page and even a password so that nobody can resubmit the page or even the captured stream and bounce your box when you weren't expecting it. Frankly I'd rather something like this than a remote script that can connect to bounce the box; the latter seems entirely too hackable and now you've just given away root access entirely.
