[Nut-upsdev] How to cause a local system shutdown...

[William R. Elliot]

Came across this note in section 4.8 of the developers guide before

upsd injects "FSD" by itself following that command by a master 
upsmon process. Drivers must not set that value.

Should I try it anyway as suggested?

Thanks,

Bill
