The only way to restart a Windows service is through native code. You
could use JNDI, or Runtime.exec() to run a "net stop & net start"
script, or a perl script, or a vbs one... there are many options here :-)

Apart from protecting the page, I would also implement a first step with
a countdown, so you can abort the restart operation if you want :-P
