The power off button in the control panel will send a soft-reboot signal (the same as running <code>poweroff</code> or <code>shutdown -h</code>.  After approximately 5 minutes if the droplet has not powered down it will send a hard power off.</p>

<p>If your droplet is getting stuck during power down you can see what messages are being displayed during the process in the console in the control panel (Droplet Access Console).  Your droplet sees the console as it's local keyboard and display so all messages up until power is completely shut off will be seen there.  If you run the poweroff or shutdown -h commands from the console you'll be able to review the shutdown process and see where things are getting stuck.</p>
