Thank you for the input. After some trial and error, finally got it to work. don't know why it is behaving that way, but ran command once, did not work, but after retrying it worked? Maybe just a "timing" issue...not being patient and waiting for the data to be displayed?
I took notes of the commands you've provided and will keep them in mind for my next "old" server needs...Yep, i386 are pretty darn old
But, they work flawlessly...The hardware are actually IBM 1U servers. Can't remember the model exactly (x336 i think?)

upscmd
UPSCMD(8) NUT Manual UPSCMD(8)
NAME
upscmd - UPS administration program for instant commands
SYNOPSIS
upscmd -h
upscmd -l ups
upscmd [-u username] [-p password] ups command
DESCRIPTION
upscmd allows you to invoke "instant commands" in your UPS hardware. Not all hardware supports this, so check the list with -l to see if
anything will work on your equipment.
On hardware that supports it, you can use this program to start and stop battery tests, invoke a front panel test (beep!), turn the load on
or off, and more.
OPTIONS
-h
Display the help message.
-l ups
Show the list of supported instant commands on that UPS. Some hardware may not support any of them.
-u username
Set the username for the connection to the server. This is optional, and you will be prompted for this when invoking a command if -u is
not used.
-p password
Set the password to authenticate to the server. This is also optional like -u, and you will be prompted for it if necessary.
ups
Connect to this UPS. The format is upsname[@hostname[:port]]. The default hostname is "localhost".
UNATTENDED MODE
If you run this program inside a shell script or similar to invoke a command, you will need to specify all of the information on the
command line. This means using -u and -p. Otherwise it will put up a prompt and your program will hang.
This is not necessary when displaying the list, as the username and password are not required for read-only mode.
DANGEROUS COMMANDS
Some drivers like apcsmart(8) have built-in paranoia for the dangerous commands like load.off. To make them actually turn off the load, you
will have to send the command twice within a short window. That is, you will have to send it once, then send it again after 3 seconds
elapse but before 15 seconds pass.
This paranoia is entirely defined within the driver. upsd and upscmd have no control over the timing.
DIAGNOSTICS
upscmd won't work unless you provide a valid username and password. If you get "access denied" errors, make sure that your upsd.users(5)
has an entry for you, and that the username you are using has permissions to SET variables.
BUGS
There is currently no way to tell the user when the driver requires confirmation to invoke a command such as load.off. Similarly, there is
not yet a way to tell the user if a command succeeds or fails.
This is on the list of things to fix in the future, so don't despair. It involves magic cookies.
