Does your UPS software have any logging capabilities? I know APC's PowerChute+ software logs everything it does. There would be an entry in it's logs saying it was doing a clean shutdown. The system logs may also have something about the time the system shutdown too. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)
