At VPAC we did this through having a system user who would get a priority 
boost via Moab's config which would submit jobs asking for 
nodes=tango001:ppn=8 (for example) and then doing "sudo reboot" for instance.

Usually though we use our health check scripts to spot things like an out of 
date kernel on the node and then it marks itself offline for manual 
intervention.

cheers,
Chris
