ups by the upsdrvclt shutdown [ups] command. Specifically in "
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsdrvctl.html" in the section
commands under warning. In the "Network UPS Tools User Manual" (pdf) under
section 6.3.2 in the last paragraph it is suggested to first test
the /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl -t shutdown and then "upsmon -c fsd". Also
this section suggests that under some circumstances you cannot rely on the
shutdown sequence to issue this command.

that I  already tested the setup with the "upsmon -c fsd". The results is
that the server closes down, as expected, but ups does not shutdown, and so
there is no restart of the server.

And I was trying to fix that by calling the upsdrvctl shutdown command
directly from a script.

do I need to tell the ups to power down myself, as   suggested in  the
documentation (configuration notes, see reference above)?

think that they call "upsdrvctl shutdown" after the rest of the system
processes have shut down (including the NUT driver). That should avoid the
"device or resource busy" error - only one process can open the UPS USB
device node at a time.
