It is that point that really should be at least 3 minutes before power
fails.  As long as the battery lasts for at least 3 minutes, then the
monitoring daemon should easily be able to begin the shutdown when 3
minutes remain.

I'm not sure that forcibly killing services to quickly shut down is
really much better than the sudden power loss you are trying to avoid.
