[c-nsp] IP SLA / EEM Scripting

Hey Guys,
 
I am hoping to use a combination of IP SLA and EEM to run a script when
a certain event occurs. For example we have a cellular router that
sometimes requires a reset. We have a backup link so I would like to
automate this reset process. What I would like to do is to monitor the
cellular device with IP SLA icmp probes and after a certain number of
failures run a script that can telnet to the device via the back door
and issue commands to reset.
 
I have done some digging but I am unable to see if EEM supports the
ability for a router to actually telnet to another device and issue
commands. I may have to use our network monitoring app to run the
script. Could Cacti do this?
 
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Aaron.
