sure. so:
- stop everything (driver, upsd and upsmon)
- there, you will probably *want* to shutdown your windows system, and
unplug your box from the UPS.
You will otherwise crash your system! So prefer to use some dumb load,
such as a light bulb, to confirm your UPS is off.
- start "blazer_ser -DDDDD -a ups1" in a dedicated console
- then, in another console, start upsd (just launch 'upsd' without any args)
- in the same console, launch "upscmd -u <user...> -p <password...>
ups1 shutdown.return"
- this should shutdown the UPS 30 seconds later, and restart it 3 minutes later.

I'm interested in blazer_ser output, specifically when the upscmd is
received by the driver.
If you happen to send the whole output, please *compress* it (we have
a 40 Kb limit on the list...)

Once done, stop again blazer_ser and upsd, and restart
cheers,
Arnaud
