your best bet is the cron daemon if you really want to do that.
upssched will only react to configured event (com{bad,ok}, power
failure and restored, ...) and act immediatly or delayed (using the
timers).

but the fact is that checking the battery only when on battery, with a
loop and a delay (5 mn) inside your upssched script should be
sufficient.

I'm not sure to understand your question (even the french version) ?!
the message broadcasting always use wall for broadcasting the message
on all console and terminals.
if your problem is with the format of the message, take a look at the
NOTIFYMSG flags.
Otherwise, you need to use your upssched script to write to the terms
(try an "echo FrogPower > /dev/pts/1" for example)

note that if you need some more info in french, we might continue off the list.
