Remotely restarting a machine using AppleScript

We are running a FileMaker Pro 6 server, but unfortunately FMPro
unexpectedly quits quite regularly. The service is quite important, so
obviously we would like to avoid downtime. I am looking into the
possibility of writing a script that would run on a different machine, and
monitor a webpage that would be served by FileMaker. If this page became
unavailable, this would indicate a crash and the script would remotely
reboot the FileMaker machine.

Anyway, is it possible to remotely reboot a machine using AppleScript? I
was think SSH or something like that. Something fairly robust, that would
reboot the machine regardless of what the system is doing. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

-Rob
