Can you describe what you are trying to do?
NOTIFYCMD can be a script that you write, or /path/to/upssched.
upssched can also call out to another script.
The difference is that NOTIFYCMD gets called on every event selected by the
configuration options in upsmon.conf. If you hooked this up to a text messaging
gateway (triggering on OB/OL status), you would probably get several attempted
text messages every time the power flickered.
CMDSCRIPT gets called when timers configured in upssched.conf have expired. This
lets you debounce the signals, or shut off a system after N minutes on battery
(regardless of the "low battery" status).

Source is here:
http://trac.networkupstools.org/projects/nut/browser/trunk/clients/upssched-cmd
You could file an enhancement request with Debian/Ubuntu if they don't
include it in any of the packages, but it's really a simple template.
