that command  only stops the drivers. generally speaking, upsdrvctl 
operates *only* on the drivers.

pi at pi:~# upsdrvctl --help
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
upsdrvctl: invalid option -- '-'
Starts and stops UPS drivers via ups.conf.

usage: upsdrvctl [OPTIONS] (start | stop | shutdown) [<ups>]

   -h                    display this help
   -r <path>             drivers will chroot to <path>
   -t                    testing mode - prints actions without doing them
   -u <user>             drivers started will switch from root to <user>
   -D                    raise debugging level
   start                 start all UPS drivers in ups.conf
   start <ups>           only start driver for UPS <ups>
   stop                  stop all UPS drivers in ups.conf
   stop <ups>            only stop driver for UPS <ups>
*  shutdown              shutdown all UPS drivers in ups.conf*
   shutdown <ups>        only shutdown UPS <ups>
