Roger,

Ubuntu 16.04 ships the SysV init scripts for NUT that worked with previous Ubuntu distributions, but it does not appear that the "powerdown" target gets invoked anymore after the switch to systemd.

Some relevant bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nut/+bug/1603609 (includes workaround)

Spike,

List subscription information is below. Please let us know if the workaround mentioned in the second bug fixes things for you. If you have a launchpad account, you can also mark the bug as affecting you.
