Short version:
Use ssh to get to a shell prompt on the Linux machine. Use reboot or shutdown -r now to reboot the system.
You can log in remotely to most Linux machines using "ssh" ("telnet" having been abandoned because it sends the userid / password and entire session unencrypted for people to see easily). At the command prompt, you can use "sudo" to run the "reboot" command, assuming your userid has permission to use sudo. If not, you can use "su" to become the root user if you know the password. If "reboot" isn't there (most distributions have it), try "shutdown -r now" to reboot.

SSH into the remote machine, gain superuser privileges, and type reboot.
Generally:
ssh myuser@remotecomputer.net
Password: ******
su root
Password: ******
reboot
The real question is, why would you restart it? Linux boxes don't go down. ;)
