UPS shutdown script

BigO
I did a search of this forum and found nothing so I did a bit of Googling but everything I did find leads me to think that there is no way I can do an ordered shutdown of my ASL box when the power goes pear shaped for an extended period of time.
I have an APC SmartUPS that I would like to configure to shutdown Astaro. Is this possible?
Any help or advice on this subject would be appreciated.

    /sbin/halt

    [/ QUOTE ]

    /sbin/poweroff

    would be better

    Also, one should set their BIOS to power-on when AC back, or similar.
