The software is the Network UPS Tools (NUT) package. To do anything that late you'd have to hack the kernel. I believe APC's units have a 'time-delay shutdown' line that you can throw as late as possible and it'll give you 10 seconds to get all the way down. I'm not sure about the BackUPSs tho. The other option is to not bother turning off the UPS; you're safe one you're halted. That or try turning the machine itself off if apm and shutdown -p can do it.
