They use a simple REST API. You'll need to send an empty HTTP POST request to the url named in the docs. A request body isn't required for the restart action.

I don't have an account for testing there, but following their documentation it could look like this:

/* Login credentials */
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'secret';

/* Application id */
$application = 'foo';

/* Base url */
$baseUrl = 'https://www.nodejitsu.com';

// Create a context for the following HTTP request
$context = stream_context_create(
    'http' => array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'Authorization: Basic '
             . base64_encode("$user:$pass")
    )
);

// Execute the HTTP request to restart the application
$url = "$baseUrl/apps/$user/$application/restart";
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

// Dump response
var_dump(json_decode($response));

You can use file_get_contents(), curl isn't required.
