Either method is possible; I'd prefer the second with apcaccess as it describes the actual status of the UPS while the log could be delayed / overwritten / have other, meaningless lines. You also seem to have it in your script but commented out. Unfortunately, I don't know apcaccess and so can't tell which info indicates a "power out" status and maybe more (mayhap on top of "STATUS: ONLINE", one of the bits in STATFLAG might give deeper insight?).
Assuming it were the STATUS line, and stealing from your script, try (untested, and not sure the sh shell will correctly run this, you may need e.g. bash)
Remove the echo when happy with the result.
Final comment: the "shebang" in your script #!/bin/sh needs to be in the very first line to become effective, i.e. determines the shell to be run to execute your code.

upsc
UPSC(8) NUT Manual UPSC(8)NAME
upsc - example lightweight UPS client
SYNOPSIS
upsc -l | -L [host]
upsc ups [variable]
upsc -c ups
DESCRIPTION
upsc is provided as a quick way to poll the status of a UPS server. It can be used inside shell scripts and other programs that need UPS
data but don't want to include the full interface.
OPTIONS -l host
List all UPS names configured at host, one name per line. The hostname defaults to "localhost". You may optionally add a colon and a
port number.
-L host
As above, list all UPS names configured at host, including their description provided by the remote upsd(8) from ups.conf(5). The
hostname defaults to "localhost". You may optionally add a colon and a port number to override the default port.
-c ups
Lists each client connected on ups, one name per line.
ups
Display the status of that UPS. The format for this option is upsname[@hostname[:port]]. The default hostname is "localhost".
variable
Display the value of this variable only. By default, upsc retrieves the list of variables from the server and then displays the value
for each. This may be useful in shell scripts to save an additional pipe into grep.
EXAMPLES
To list all variables on an UPS named "myups" on a host called "mybox", with upsd(8) running on port 1234:
$ upsc myups@mybox:1234
battery.charge: 100.0
battery.voltage: 13.9
battery.voltage.nominal: 13.6
. . .
To list the UPSes configured on this system, along with their descriptions:
$ upsc -L
apc: Back-UPS 500
ppro2: Patriot Pro II
To retrieve the status for all UPSes connected to mybox, using Bourne-shell syntax:
$ for UPS in `upsc -l mybox:1234`; do
upsc $UPS ups.status
done
To list clients connected on "myups":
$ upsc -c myups
127.0.0.1
::1
192.168.1.2
DIAGNOSTICS
upsc will either print a list of UPS names, a list of all supported variables and their values on the UPS, or an error message. If you
receive an error, make sure you have specified a valid UPS on the command line, that upsd(8) is really running on the other host and that
no firewalls are blocking you.
HISTORY
Earlier versions of this program used the upsfetch library and UDP sockets to talk to upsd. This version of upsc uses the new upsclient
library, which only talks TCP. This is why upsct no longer exists.
