Thank you sooo much for your prompt response.
I'll surely give it a try and let you know how it went although I might not be able to fully test it for a couple of weeks since I have this set up in a remote location and I need to be able to unplug the ups to test it.
Thanks again

Thank you very much @RudiC it works perfectrly well!
I forgot to mention that the main script was a python script and I could not integrate your code directly. Instead, I have placed it on a separate .sh which handles the logic for either calling or not calling based on the status of the UPS after 10 seconds and I call that one from the main script.
Thanks again

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.
