check out "apcupsd" or "nut", since they most likely have all the
code to talk to the ups:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/apcupsd
http://us2.networkupstools.org/features/
i have an apc ups hooked into my workstation via usb (i suspect the apc
rs232 interface is simliar), and the output of "apcaccess" from apcupsd
tells me stuff like this, which you could easily use in a mon monitor:
