Dear Debian-user,

And the answer is, "It doesn't do that." It's a failure of the USB 
connected UPS, which I guess means that's just the way it is.

Thank you for all the help and advice, may your power never spike,

6.3 Creating the UPS Powerdown Script

     Normally, the last thing that needs to happen before the system
     shuts down is to power off the UPS.  Unfortunately, one of the 
known
     limitations of apcupsd interfacing to a USB UPS is that the
     "--killpower" option to apcupsd doesn't work, which means that it 
is
     not possible to power off a USB UPS.  Although the apcupsd
     documentation states that the UPS should shut itself down one to 
two
     minutes after the system, I did not observe this in my testing.  
In
     my case, the UPS continued to supply power to the computer until 
the
     batteries drained to a critically low level.  Of course, this 
wasn't
     a problem because the system had already been shut down.
