   Hope you really have another admin user/password than ubnt.

   If you want the reboot to occur periodically, then a crontab job would   
   be simplest.   
      
   If you want more control, then have periodical checks of a site, and if   
   the value changes on the requested page say from 0 to 1, then reboot   
   (then have a grace period when it will not check the page, or else it   
   will keep rebooting until you change the value back to 0).   
      
   If making the page with some kind of logic, then each client sends a   
   hash unique for them to you, if the value is in your database, then send   
   value 0, if not send 1 and each time you want all units to reboot you   
   empty the table.   
      
   Sure you could use nrpe to do the same thing as your ssh connection, but   
   with the difference that you wouldn't need to know the password of the   
   device, lock it with ip restriction. This will work quite nicely till   
   someone does an arp poisoning and make it look for the device that you   
   would be sending the nrpe request while it's someone else.   
   I have used nrpe where the client been allowing request from a dynamical   
   ip server, this has the small drawback that you have a minute while you   
   can't access the nrpe service, but I do rather use it than ssh which   
   requires you to configure username/password in nagios/icinga.
