It will run a global script by the name of "Power Fail" if you have
one. It's one of the special names in the popup menu of special names
when creating a new global script.

It can take several minutes for the system to determine that the
interface is not responding though, only the Lynx ever sent an actual
message with it's last few electrons, all the others are figured out
by their lack of a response to a message.

Or, if you have a USB UPS you can use my UPS plugin to get a very fast
indication of power fails or restores ;)
