Are you using a StartupItem? I thought I remembered this working under
10.2, but my G4 Cube is now running Linux, and the other mac is a
laptop, so I mostly use NUT for monitoring under OS X.

Out of curiosity, what UPS are you using? OS X is pretty good at
detecting common HID PDC UPSes, and it has its own shutdown system.
One of these days, I might try writing a NUT meta-driver that hooks
into the OS X power management API. It wouldn't return much info, but
it would push the low-battery shutdown functionality back to the OS.
