ok, it's a bit better.
can you now make an integration test (mge-shut, not in debug mode +
upsd + upsmon) and report back.
Note that you will need to adjust MAXAGE and DEADTIME to 20/25 seconds.

Also note that the mge-shut rewritte for 2.2 (merge with newhidups,
which shares the same HID core) will greatly improve such kind of
problems, since the hardware is polled too much, even for constant
data. And I've already addressed this in newhidups. So we're more
about finding a temporary solution to your problem, while waiting for
the real good solution.

right, but what MGE does is still more an exception than the standard!
