Here's a couple methods:

1. Edit apccontrol:

case "$1" in
    killpower)
#        echo "Apccontrol doing: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}"
#        sleep 10
#        ${APCUPSD} --killpower
#        echo "Apccontrol has done: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" 
| ${WALL}
    ;;

Comment out those 4 lines (like above).

2. Edit your OS shutdown script preventing it from running apccontrol 
killpower. You didn't specify an OS/distro so can't say for sure which 
file to edit (none if Windows).

3. ??? (there might be an option to disable killpower by 
reconfiguring/recompiling apcupsd)

Running Windows? Then nothing needs to be done, apcupsd won't shutdown 
(killpower) the UPS by default.
