Reboot server running XP via ssh

How can I reboot my server which is running XP via ssh? I think it may have partially crashed, but at any rate it isnt letting me connect via RDP.

"Actually, Shutdown.exe has a parameter that allows you to specify machine name. You do not have to have an SSH server on the machine you want to reboot.

Shutdown /r /m \\WindowsXPServerName"

"Well, if you have SSH access, try the shutdown command?

You want...

Shutdown -r

... This is dependent on what SSH server you are using, but most I have seen should support this."
