I want to issue a reboot comand to a linux PC, using a PHP Page.

Ideally I'd like to have a 'text box' for the IP address, $IPADDRESS,
with a 'reboot' button.

So the user enters the IP, eg: 10.0.0.1

The from within the php page we telnet to the $IPADDRESS, providing
providing the correct username and password:

telnet $IPADDRESS username password

once connect we need to pass the reboot command..

Can all this be done on a linux PC, from a web page ?

Security is not an issue, we wnat the pc to be able to do this !

Thanks
