[Nut-upsuser] mge-shut and hardware error on MGE Pulsar Evolution 800

Please be as specific as possible to describing what kind of problem you
had. Which driver (and interface) are you using and which NUT version are
we talking about.

Note that the only *automatic* shutdown NUT supports, is for a low battery
situation, since that might not need user intervention to clear. Chances
are that there are ways to detect the problem you're having (depending on
what driver you're using), but I doubt that this will result in NUT
initiating a shutdown. It might throw an alarm, but this usually means
that it still requires user intervention to deal with/correct the
situation.

Best regards, Arjen
