The usbhid_resumer is not part of NUT and I don't know what happens if  
you send it a kill signal. On the other hand, sending a kill signal to  
usbhid-ups is not dangerous. This is the same what happens if you send  
'upsdrvctl stop'. The upsdrvctl wrapper will attempt to find the  
proper PID to send the signal to, but if you already know that,  
sending it directly will have identical results.

Both. It would command the UPS to shutdown the load (possibly with a  
delay) and then the driver process would terminate.
