Rebooting Linux from PC with C#?

Wondering if anyone has a simple solution to doing a reboot of a linux box from a C# windows app. I can do the reboot using ssh, but really did not want to include the SSH lib files from Tamir Is there something else I could do besides bring in the full SSH lib for a simple reboot?

Here is how I do the reboot using Sharpssh from Tamir..

SshExec exec = new SshExec("192.168.1.1", "root", "password");
exec.RunCommand("/sbin/shutdown -r");
exec.Close();

Are you running Apache/PHP on the box? If so, a horribly insecure way may be to setup a PHP page to initiate the reboot. (You could attempt to add some security by requiring a login / obscure string supplied as a post variable, etc) You can then just use a WebRequest to call the page in question to initiate the reboot.

Please don't ask me about the security specifics of allowing a PHP page to call out to a system command with the required permissions - it has been far too long since I worked on Linux / PHP.
