	In another convo I talked about /etc/rc.shutdown
being too early in the process. I corrupt filesystems that cause the system
not to boot, which of course is a bad thing.

	I'm using the ports... And there is the nut.sh, which I use. The
problem is that you are also supposed to put in the "upsdrvctl shutdown" at
some point where the filesystems are mounted read only so you don't get
file corruption.

	Where is this set then, no one else has mentioned it.
