ltsp-utils isnt working with ubuntus ltsp, its written for ltsp 4.X
while we have the ltsp5 version in ubuntu everywhere. we'll merge the
projects soon so in later releases it might be possible that an
ltsp-utils package for 5.0 will exist ...

our implementation is written exactly for the pourpose of easy
maintenance, try the following for a regular daily reboot of the
clients:

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 crontab -e

(every command you prefix with 'sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386', will be
executed as root in the client environment, so the above gives you
actually the crontab of the clients, this way you can maintain the
client environment exactly like the server, all maintenance tools are
available or installable)

add a line like:

00 * * * *   root    shutdown -r now

and they will reboot once a day at midnight.
