[Nut-upsuser] unclear about expected shutdown behavior

[Spike]

Dear Charles and Roger,

thank you for your help, once again I tried to google around but forgot to
check launchpad's bugs. Indeed that was it and creating the script as
mentioned in the second bug made it work: box was powered down, UPS was
then shut down and it came back up along with the box a few secs later.
Really smooth, thank you so much for such great piece of software.

And yes, I have a launchpad account and have marked the bugs as effecting
me.

Happy holidays to everybody,

Spike
