I am also not aware of a "built-in" reboot/shutdown function and also wanted to implement such function handling the switch to initiate a proper reboot for ages now but never did so...

We implemented a php-over-webserver function which mainly is a system call to "sudo reboot" (and adding www-data to sudoers with the NOPASSWD option)... works fine so far.
