Nut upsuser - Dec 2006 - Correct shutdown scripts for Ubuntu or Suse

Hi all.

I would like to switch off my UPS once all upsmon clients have been 
disconnected from the upsd server, so that when power returns all the 
hosts connected to the ups will be powered up again.

In the documentation it states that I should edit my shutdown scripts to 
add the command:
/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown

Unfortunately I don't know what file to add the command to.
Does anyone know the correct file to edit for both Ubuntu and Suse.
If I had to take a guess, I should edit /etc/init.d/halt
Is this correct?

Thanks in advance

I don't know about Unbutu, but from SuSE 10.1 onwards this is being
dealt with in the installation of the nut package by default. You don't
need to modify the startup scripts yourself.

Not sure about SuSE, but there is an Ubuntu package already, and you
can adapt the paths in their shutdown script if you want to use a
later version than 2.0.4:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nut/nut_2.0.4-2.diff.gz

look for nut-2.0.4/debian/nut.init.
