For Proxmox running as client, is there a need for a shutdown script .. as is all vm do close and then the prox server shutdown or it's a panic shutdown of all ? thanks for precision.

It's not required but if you want it to run/do certain things before shutdown then this is where you would put it.
So i did test over the cmd : upsmon -c fsd , and the proxmox box as client do shutdown. But if communication fail it don't do anything, it just if the ups get the battery dead. I do see other config as :
nano /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

is a script is needed ? Do you have an example or you just used nut at when no more power in the ups, then the proxmox box go for shutoff ?
No other scripts in my setup. It is a graceful shutdown including all VMs.
Client performs action based on server configuration.
My server is NUT service inside TrueNAS VM. It is configured to shutdown after N minutes of ONBATT state.
If communication is lost NUT should spam you with e-mails until it is fixed, but there must be a valid account configured for each system's e-mail MTA (e.g. postfix)
