This can be done using the exec() function, the php.net doc will explain how
it work. There are a few known problem as I can see if someone try to
reboot the Linux/Unix.
1) If the hacker break-in and take control of hte script. Who know what
could have happen.
2) If using encryption and use passphrase to start up Apache, it is a
darn problem getting the passphrase be entered automatically.
3) If people are online to that one website and the machine reboot,
everyone would get cut off of that website.
