[Nut-upsuser] Nut fsd command ignored: bcmxcp_usb driver, Powerware 5105 UPS

The shutdown command should be send in the halt script. By the time it
runs, both the upsd and the driver have been stopped already. You need to
call

    upsdrvctl shutdown

to power off your UPS. This will in turn call the driver again, but now
with the -k option.
