Yes I understand that. You need a testsetup so you don't mess up
your cluster. We recomend to power some other load (light's) for
testing and supply the computer directly. In that case if the UPS missbehave
the computer is uneffected.

If you read the 'shutdown.txt' in the doc, you find that this is a file
'creates the POWERDOWNFLAG file - usually /etc/killpower'
And this is created by upsmon master.

http://eu1.networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/shutdown.html

This is the file that the shutdown script look for to power of the
ups.

quote
----------------
   if (test -f /etc/killpower)
   then
   	echo "Killing the power, bye!"
   	/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown

	sleep 120

	# uh oh... the UPS poweroff failed!
	# you probably should reboot here to avoid getting stuck
	# *** see the section on power races below ***
   fi

It would be fine if he could give us the info from his setup.
We need to enter this into the compatibility list.
So people know what driver to use.
