Don't forget that a machine can always stay up when it's been requested
to go down. You might want to have some external program that
orchestrates this process: it tells your app to attempt to reboot the
server, then it watches. If the server goes down and comes back up on a
reasonable schedule (you decide), it's a success. Otherwise, flip the
power on your power device (you /do/ have a controllable power device,
don't you?!), wait a few seconds and flip the power back on.

You should always have a cold-restart capability in the event that the
hot-restart fails. Otherwise, you end up with machines that are stuck in
shutdown mode, but are never shutting down.
