A generic way would be to have upsmon signal upssched, and run the shutdown command when upssched gets the OB signal:

You may want to look at the timers in upssched; otherwise, you may get false positives if your UPS briefly transitions to OB during a power glitch.

Hard to say without knowing what driver you are using (and even then, it depends on the UPS firmware). But if that variable shows up in the list when you run upsrw, then you should be able to adjust it.
