Yes. If you're good with the default NUT behavior of shutting down when the UPS signals LB (low battery; per upsc, seems to be at 10% charge or 300 seconds left, whichever comes first), it's just a matter of testing the shutdown command, and any power sequencing (including any auto power-on settings on the motherboard) issues on the way back up.

If not, there are ways to either adjust the UPS low power thresholds, or ignore them completely. Roger Price has a good enumeration of alternate shutdown strategies in his Configuration Examples document linked here: http://rogerprice.org/NUT/

As I just mentioned in my reply to Gene, it would be handy to have the output of "upsrw" and "upscmd -l" for your UPS. Those commands show the read/write variables and instant commands that the NUT driver detects, respectively.
