Nut upsdev - Oct 2009 - mge-shut lowbatt config param

Hi,
We have been testing an MGE Pulsar M 3000 and found that the lowbatt 
doesn't appear to do much. You can see it in the output of upsc but 
battery.charge.low is still the default.

Setting battery.charge.low with upsrw does seem to 'stick' though so I 
we can use that.

Mostly I'm wondering what the driver param is for :)

Hi Dan,

sorry for the lag in answering, but I was off for a week due to some health
problems...

ooch, right. The param is exposed but not applied.
As you told, setting it through upsrw works!

I've just fixed the param application (subversion r2016), so using "-x
lowbatt" or putting it in ups.conf now works as it should.

thanks for the report. I hope you're doing fine.

cheers,
Arnaud
