as configured the system was shut down within 25seconds after UPS was
disconnected from power, see also:
https://nixos.org/wiki/How_to_setup_UPS/NUT#example_log.2C_when_unplugging_the_UPS_from_power
the driver seems to work here as this is exactly what i wanted. when
battery takes over, shutdown the system after 25seconds. this leaves
enough time to replug the power wires if needed but ensured that the
system goes down as soon as possible.
