I don't have NUT + systemd + CentOS/RHEL, but I'm confused by your script. 
"upsdrvctl" is a front end to your driver.  You are sending a command via 
upsdrvctl and via your driver _after_ you have stopped the driver?  And it 
works?

I don't use the nutshutdown script, but rather a systemd service unit which is 
called much earlier in the shutdown process.  This allows logging of the action.
It's described in Appendix B.2 at
