True, thanks for pointing out my shell scripting skills :D

Much better solution, I think that is what I will implement if I ever get my
UPS working under FreeBSD.
Unfortunately there is no ondelay or offdelay in ther PowerMust driver.

I will probably try to install nut on my IPCop firewall instead, as I would
very much like my FreeBSD systems to shutdown gracefully.
