Enable SSH and fire away. You should be able to script it (shutdown and notifications) and even set times via a cronjob. FYI… This units run Debian Lenny Linux distribution, so lots of options, for the advance/willing  user.

It might, hard to tell really, for the most part it will not. Soft shutdown is the recommended action if possible.
