I didn't look to see how those programs work, but there's no reason that they couldn't be set up to confirm that they have carried out your task. In the case of shutting down, a message could be sent saying shutdown commencing. Restart could be accomplished by having the program start automatically at boot and having it remember that it needs to send a confirmation tweet when it's back up.

I'll stick with logmein. When I need to access a computer remotely, it's to do something more involved.
