power off is like pulling the cord. but APC does this via the command line and probably with the "trysoft" parameter. In other words, it will try to shut it down cleanly, but if that fails it will just pull the cord.and the shutdown delay, and someone correct me if i'm wrong is the period of time between that vm and before the next is being shutdown.
