I read the 'shutdown.txt' before to send the email.
And I read this IfThenFi in the /etc/init.d/nut :

  poweroff)
    flag=`sed -ne 's#^ *POWERDOWNFLAG *\(.*\)$#\1#p' /etc/nut/upsmon.conf`
    wait_delay=`sed -ne 's#^ *POWEROFF_WAIT= *\(.*\)$#\1#p' /etc/default/nut`
    if [ -f "$flag" ] ; then
      if /sbin/upsmon -K >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then ## <-----------------------------------------------
  log_daemon_msg "Shutting down the UPS ..."
  sleep 1
  if /sbin/upsdrvctl shutdown ; then
    sleep 5
    log_progress_msg "Waiting for UPS to cut the power"
    log_end_msg 0
  else
    log_progress_msg "Shutdown failed."
    log_progress_msg "Waiting for UPS batteries to run down"
    log_end_msg 0
  fi
  if [ "$wait_delay" ] ; then
    log_daemon_msg " (will reboot after $wait_delay) ..."
    sleep "$wait_delay"
    /etc/init.d/reboot stop
  fi
      else
        log_daemon_msg "Power down flag is not set (UPS shutdown not needed)"
      fi
    else
        if [ -z "$flag" ] ; then
    log_daemon_msg   "##########################################################"
    log_progress_msg "## POWERDOWNFLAG is not defined in /etc/nut/upsmon.conf ##"
    log_progress_msg "##                                                      ##"
    log_progress_msg "## Please read the Manual page upsmon.conf(5)           ##"
    log_progress_msg "##########################################################"
    log_end_msg 0
      fi
    fi
    ;;

I guess that /sbin/upsmon -K check something else, otherwise
there is a clear redundancy here.

upsmon does generate the $flag , but /sbin/upsmon -K responses FALSE :
I will try to dig this issue later.

Thanks,
Jerome
