Something like: ssh in, sudo shutdown -r now?

So we have a local admin with a box sitting somewhere near, but without
updates on what exactly is being done with them (or not done with them).
That's a shame, but inherent to just offering to host hardware, I
suppose. They have been contacted now?

That's a shame. Is there some central place with a list of buildd's and
local admins? (Obviously not, but wouldn't it be a great idea?)
I suppose that this happens when you start setting up an experimental
