System has installed far away (in China) and there is bad Internet connection, so I might have ability to connect and check log files in a few day or weeks. Now I know exactly only that NUTed hosts shutdown via NUT as expected and no one host listed in shutdown-all-hosts.sh script don't.

It is not good to shutdown from CMDSCRIPT the master itself. Is it correct?

Roger, I would appreciate if you give me a hint how to "reproduce the NUT protocol ... ". Do you mean getting feedback to CMDSCRIPT about the "no NUTed" slaves indeed shutting down and/or some timing in NUT config files...?
