Hi, Normally one would expect the UPS to disconnect it's power outlets 
after the default ups.delay.shutdown = 20 seconds.  Could you show us the 
output of command "upsc pcmups"?

Once the command "upsdrvctl shutdown" works, you will need to incorporate 
it in your shutdown process.  NUT 2.7.4 includes file 
.../scripts/systemd/nutshutdown . Does Ubunti install this?

Does wall successfully notify the users on an Ubuntu system?   If you type

    echo "Hello from wall" | wall

do the users of Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LightDM etc see the message?

It doesn't look as if upssched will be called, since your NOTIFYCMD is 
pointing to your script and not upssched.  So upssched.conf will not be 
used.

Perhaps the BSD syntax doesn't work on Debian, ps -elf | grep -E 
"nut|upsd|upsmon" would have been better.  I will make a note for next 
time.
