Type:'shutdown -h 0 '
at the prompt when logged in as root under a telnet session.
This shuts down linux and halts the system.
'shutdown -r 0 '
This would shut down linux and reboot the system.

Put it in your cron file if you want it automated.

I use this to remote reboot a number of cluster machines.
