Nut upsdev - Jul 2008 - upsdrvctl shutdown, didn't, APC Back-UPS RS 1500

I did a test shutdown on a nut controlled UPS and it all went as
expected except that when it got to:

  /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown

Nothing happened.  So the halt script went on and shut down the system.
 I waited a while but the UPS never turned itself off.

Am I doing something wrong, or does this UPS not support this function?

Thank you,

Let us know driver are you using (name and version), preferably by posting
the output of 'upsc -l <upsname>'.

If you happen to be using 'usbhid-ups' (minimum version required 2.2.2),
you may need to add the '-u root' option to the command if hotplug/udev
is
no longer available at that time in the shutdown sequence.

Best regards, Arjen
