Isn't this csh scripting..? (and rc.shutdown is sh)

Anyway..
I modified /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh to check for /etc/killpower by modifying 
the poststop function.. eg

nut_poststop() {
        ${nut_prefix}/libexec/nut/upsdrvctl stop

        if [ -r /etc/killpower ]; then
                rm -f /etc/killpower
                ${nut_prefix}/libexec/nut/upsdrvctl -v shutdown
	fi
}

I have ondelay = 13 and offdelay = 120 in my ups.conf (MGE Pulsar EX) so the 
system gets 2 minutes to shut down gracefully.

FreeBSD doesn't remount file systems read-only so it has a detrimental 
effect :)

I've never used PowerMust, hopefully someone else can answer your query.
