That would be sufficient to create a script to monitor the power state, maybe have the script check the status again in 10 minutes and shutdown the PC if necessary. It can be done right?
The time estimate is very inaccurate on the ES and RS units that I have used. You would have better luck shutting down based on battery strength. You can glean this info from the proc title, or process it as it gets sent to local1 via syslog. But yes, it can be done
eg here is a sample power failure as it gets recorded in local1
