If that shortcut is for windows,
I use plink.exe + .bat combo to create something like that. (The code below is only for server that use username and password for authentication)
echo yes | plink -agent YOUR_USER_NAME@SERVER_IP -pw YOUR_PASSWORD "/path/to/ra/athena-start restart"
Save as something.bat. Put togather in a folder with plink.exe file. It should be working now.
You can always convert bat files to exe.
You can also warp togather plink + command.exe under 1 exe with custom message box.
This is the easiest way to me other than writing c++ code.
