===> What happens if power returns AFTER this final decision, but BEFORE 
the system is actually shut down? The time frame can be over a minute.<===

Interesting! This is the most I can recall being discussed about UPS for
the past year. Glad we are doing it, but I still don't see the problem
here. Once the script turns over to the "shutdown -p now", doesn't apcupsd
exit (along with the other shutdowns) and stop monitoring..??? Or, am I
missing something here (probably)?
