You can write a little script with expect (man expect) and execute it from php with exec(). Other solution its to write a .procmailrc in root that executes the reboot when coming a mail with some text in subject or boyd, so, from php you only need to send a mail. -Mensaje original-

Exactly .. Well, the script removes the rreboot file before the shutdown. For security choose a directory for rreboot file placed in a directory that only can be readed/writed by apache, and the php file in the example its very simple, but you can ask for a password, create a log, etc ..
