If you use a web interface, you'll need some sort of backend to talk to
the process, so Java or Perl or PHP or something will need to be boinked
in.

Alternately, if the process runs from the command line and will respond
to command line input, you could run it in a screen session and attach
to that session when you need to bugger it. Simple ssh access to the
machine would be all that's needed in that case.

Remote control of process-control software can be a tricky thing--
especially real time stuff.
