[Nut-upsuser] Exclude COMMBAD status as a shutdown event?

No, COMMBAD is just the first warning. You probably meant NOCOMM here.  
The system will be brought down in the following two states:

1) OB + LB
2) NOCOMM and last known state OB

That's insane, so you don't. :-)

If the last you heard from the master is that the UPS is on battery  
and communication is lost then, your only reasonable option is to  
shutdown. You can delay this (by changing DEADTIME in upsmon.conf),  
but question is, why you want to do that?

See above.
