Nice catch, seems shutdown is not working at all :( :

So it seems we are unable to shut this thing down? For the record, the
ups.conf I was using is the following:
ups.conf
========
[ups1]
driver = blazer_ser
port = com1
novendor
runtimecal = 300,100,840,50
offdelay = 120
ondelay = 3
Now is the strange thing. I switched to the bestups driver for the
purposes of contucting the same test. I changed ups.conf to:
ups.conf
========
[ups1]
driver = bestups
port = com1
id = 610,1000,225,230,10.0,36.0
nombattvolt=41.1
This time, executing the kill command (bestups -a ups1 -DDDDD -k) seems
to do the trick! From the log:
C:\Program Files\NUT\bin>bestups -a ups1 -DDDDD -k

The UPS will restart in about one minute.
Checking physically the ups, it really shutted down. It almost
immediately restarted though, perhaps because it was connected to AC
power? Pity that I can't use this driver though, since neither offdelay,
nor ondelay are supported:
C:\Program Files\NUT\bin>bestups -h
Network UPS Tools - Best UPS driver 1.06 (2.6.3-3534:3545M)
usage: bestups -a <id> [OPTIONS]
-a <id> - autoconfig using ups.conf section <id>
- note: -x after -a overrides ups.conf settings
-V - print version, then exit
-L - print parseable list of driver variables
-D - raise debugging level
-q - raise log level threshold
-h - display this help
-k - force shutdown
-i <int> - poll interval
-r <dir> - chroot to <dir>
-u <user> - switch to <user> (if started as root)
-x <var>=<val> - set driver variable <var> to <val>
- example: -x cable=940-0095B
Acceptable values for -x or ups.conf in this driver:
Override nominal battery voltage : -x nombattvolt=<value>
Battery voltage multiplier : -x battvoltmult=<value>
Force UPS ID response string : -x ID=<value>
