Just a note after starting investigating nut.

From the nut page:

Known bug in 0.45.1

upsmon 0.45.1 by default can't create the POWERDOWNFLAG, so your
shutdown scripts won't know when to turn off the UPS.
More information and resources:

- Further explanation on the mailing list
  http://lists.exploits.org/ups/Aug2001/00028.html

- Patch your 0.45.1 tree
  http://www.exploits.org/nut/testing/0.45.2-pre/upsmon-pdflag.diff

- Or just grab 0.45.2-pre1 which also has this fix applied 
  http://www.exploits.org/nut/testing/0.45.2-pre/nut-0.45.2-pre1.tar.gz


It appears that the ports tree carries nut-0.45.0 (my ports tree was
updated on Sep 3rd, and the 0.45.2-pre1 was released on Aug 31st).

I am cc'ing ports on this.
