Maybe have cron use the 'pmset' command to delete the current
scheduled event and create a new one at (now + 6 minutes). If the job
runs every 5 minutes, you'll always have a startup event waiting.


The problem with that is that the Xserve will try to start back up in 5
minutes, even if the power isn't back on. Odds are the UPS will have
enough juice to fire it up if you shutdown at say, 20%.

IIRC, Older versions of the OS would shut the system down to SUM and wait
for the UPS to fail, but that's no good either if power is restored before
it dies.

Take a look at /usr/libexec/upsshutdown to see what the OS does in a UPS
shutdown.

Shouldn't someone be on site by the time the UPS runs out of power if there is a power outage? The system should contact you that it has lost power and is in UPS mode with enough time for someone to show up and find out what is wrong.
