For those of you who have cpanel and WHM installed, this will be an easy solution.  cpanelmatt at the cpanel forums created an XML-API PHP class to be able to handle situations like this.

First download the XML-API PHP class.

Next, follow the code example below:

include("xmlapi.php");

$ip = "127.0.0.1";
$root_pass = "somepass";

$xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
$xmlapi->password_auth("root",$root_pass);

$xmlapi->set_debug(1);

print $xmlapi->restartsrv('httpd');
