Naturally, anything that something that allows you to stop and start
services remotely should be handled carefully.
How you go about securing the approach I suggested is up to you, but it does
provide a way for people who have limited control of the server and
networking environment to achieve what they need to.
SSH would be a preferred solution, but it does require a greater level of
control over the environment to set it up.
