How to use Android Tablet to shut down + restart applications on the Windows server on the internal network? (alien.top)

Theres a windows app that sometimes gets stuck and needs a restart on the server.

Is there any easy solution to use an android tablet as a command center with only 2 buttons. ?

I don't want to use RDP or similar connections. I'd rather have the server expose 2 buttons (maybe via an internal website?) that my tablet can just click, and voila app closed. This would also allow someone not tech savvy to close/restart it if needed.

Does something like this already exist? Or is there a blog about how to set up something like this?

You could use Node-Red for the front end to run a Python script to issue a remote service restart commands either with a native library or by leveraging PSService from SysInternals.
