Ok, I'll have them give it a try :)

Also, is there any command to cancel a pending shutdown, if any was
requested previously - so as to reset the doomsday timer (so that, per
my earlier example, if several blades are shutting down and asking the
UPS to kill itself in a few minutes, every next blade that completes
its shutdown to this step, would give a few more minutes of uptime
to those which are still processing their stop-scripts)?

hmmm.... right, thanks :)

And this means that the current code in the repository would not work
as expected, without fixing the above discrepancies first? Right?
