[Nut-upsuser] nut on Mac OS X. Where to put upsdrvctl shutdown?

[Ted Bardusch]

I've got 2.0.3 running on my XServe under 10.4.5, but I had to put a  
serial adapter on the USB port instead of using a direct USB  
connection.  With the direct USB connection, the OS X native UPS  
solution took precedence.

Anyone know how to prevent the OS X UPS handler from taking over on a  
USB connection?

PS - on my 10.4 install I put the startup in rc.local as the Startup  
items (even with it set to Last) didn't have enough things going to  
have it work.
