Nut upsuser - Jul 2009 - pebcak or something else?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I've set up my ups solution with a dedicated box (laptop with its own
powersupply) connected to the ups, and have set up upsmon.conf to use a
customized script (SHUTDOWNCMD
"/usr/local/upsmonitor-files/shutdown.sh") that shuts down my ESXi
boxes
properly.

However when ups power reaches the shutdown point, it seems that NUT
promptly ignores the shutdown script and goes on to shut down the
monitoring box instead. The laptop is running FreeBSD 7 stable
(RELENG_7) with nut version 2.4.1

What have I done wrong? (in all respects except this, the NUT setup works)

Read the section on POWER VALUES in 'man 8 upsmon'. You probably  
should assign the UPS a 'power value' of 0 (zero) on the laptop that  
is monitoring it (but isn't powered by it).
