I added a line "touch /junkfile" in /etc/init.d/halt just prior to the
code that would turn off the UPS.  The result was:

    touch: cannot touch `/junkfile': Read-only file system

The code that remounts remaining file systems read-only is just a few
lines above that.  The only time that's going to fail is if some hung
process resisted a "kill -9" and had a file open for writing.  That's
going to result in a dirty file system regardless of how the shutdown
is done.

Shutting down the UPS is a requirement if you want the system to come
back up automatically when commercial power is restored.  Otherwise,
the system will halt and never see a power remove/restore unless the
outage exceeds the battery life of the unloaded UPS.
