does `init 0` as a root command cause it to gracefully shut down and 
power off ?      thats all the ACPI support you need.


what brand/model UPS (battery backup) do you have ?    the UPS software, 
apcupsd and/or NUT, needs to listen to the UPS to tell it when the power 
has failed, then it can tell your OS to shutdown after a suitable delay 
(if your UPS is good for 30 minutes, you might not want to shut down 
until the power has failed for 15 minutes, so brief outages don't cause 
a shutdown)
