... or when the node admin selects More -> Stop all VMs and Containers?

Is it stop or shutdown?

I also have networkupstools (NUT) setup. I guess that when a fatal power failure alerts the node to go down, it also automatically brings the KVM boxes down, but how? Via stop or shutdown?

Sorry for the newbie question, could not find this elsewhere.
 
the "Stop all VMs and Containers" Button sends a shutdown command to all (non HA-managed) VMs and Containers, but
kills them after a timeout (60s for containers, 180s for VMs)

the same when you just shutdown the node
