There is a general hook in the form of NOTIFYFLAG.  In upsmon.conf you
can specify the program to deliver notifications:

NOTIFYCMD /usr/sbin/upssched
NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD      EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE EXEC

You can put your own program in place of upssched, but upssched has
quite a few features already implemented - including TIMER.

My upssched.conf:

CMDSCRIPT /usr/bin/upssched-tripp

AT COMMBAD tripp at localhost START-TIMER upsreset 10
AT COMMOK tripp at localhost CANCEL-TIMER upsreset
AT ONBATT * EXECUTE sms-onbatt
AT ONLINE * EXECUTE sms-online

upssched hands off to the program/script in CMDSCRIPT after implementing
its own features, passing the arbitrary even names you provide.
