Does anyone know how to do this pogrammatically by any chance? I am looking at the Cisco programming guides, but can't seem to get it to work (using the XML file method).

you have to turn on telnet on the phone using SIPDefault.cnf entery:
# Telnet Level (enable or disable the ability to telnet into the phone)
telnet_level: 2 ; 0-Disabled (default), 1-Enabled, 2-Privileged

then you will be able to reboot it remotely.

Does this work as well as unplugging the network cable and then repluggin in?

It will perform better, and is less hassle.
