In my experience, apcupsd is a *lot* more configurable than that -- did
you read its documentation or its scripts before posting?
You can create scripts for each class of event (onbattery, offbattery,
etc.) handled by /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol that do *whatever* you want
them to do -- turn the message into audio and speak it using a speech
synth, if you really want :)
You don't even need to edit /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol to do this, it will
notice that your custom scripts exist, and use them instead of its
internal default actions.
