We are aware of that, see the last paragraph in the 'docs/shutdown.txt' document. It also suggests another way of dealing with this and which might be combined with upssched and is more robust. In your case, you will still have a problem if the time between outages isn't sufficient to recharge the batteries, even if you decide to shutdown your system at the first sign of power problems.
