This assumes that you use the Bash shell in your default environment.  It will 
need adaption if you use Dash.

In .bashrc define function getUPSstatus

  # Update variable UPSstatus and export to environment
  # Usage getUPSstatus <myups>
  function getUPSstatus {
    export UPSstatus="[$( upsc $1 ups.status 2>/dev/null )]:$( upsc $1 battery.charge 2>/dev/null )"
  }

The SHUTDOWNCMD declaration now simplifies to

  SHUTDOWNCMD "getUPSstatus <myups> ; logger -t upsmon.conf \"UPS status is $UPSstatus\" ; /sbin/shutdown -h +0"
