Looking at the apcupsd config files, you probably want to enable ANNOY  
stuff in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf, and than create onbattery (power  
lost, running on battery) and annoyme (I'm gonna shut down soon)  
scripts in /etc/apcupsd that will display popup windows.  Default  
action from apccontrol file will be also executed after your script  
unless you exit from the script with exit code 99.  See  
/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol for details.  You probably want to background  
the process that opens popup window so that your scripts exit right  
away (instead of waiting for user to close popup).
