Two quick questions -

I have both VGA and MDA cards + monitors. In DOS I can run both, switching
using the mode command. Can I do this for 388/ix?

Is it possible to run shutdown from anything other than the console VT?
Sometimes I would like to be able to reboot my system safely from a remote
login, but can't.
