The issue isn't with the upsmon or SHUTDOWNCMD... Its with the
fact that /etc/killpower gets set, and somewhere you need to put
"upsdrvctl shutdown". Its during the "shutdown -p now" that at some point
needs to be run, and if its run in /etc/rc.shutdown then the shutdown isn't
finished and shutting it off at that point the filesystems are dirty.
Thanks, Tuc
