To concur with Avi, I used the script for quite a while, but found
situations where it just wouldn't reboot certain phones.  I never
really bothered to troubleshoot why.  Instead, I switched to the sip
notify method instead and it has always worked so far.

Note, though, that there's a setting in sip.cfg where you can have it
only reboot on a notify if the config files have changed (this is the
default setting).  If you prefer to always have the phone reboot when
you issue a sip notify, you can change the following line:

<specialEvent ... voIpProt.SIP.specialEvent.checkSync.alwaysReboot="1">
