(Incidentally, this sounds like a good use case for the dummy-ups driver - you 
could just edit the ups.status line in the dump file, and upssched could follow 
the simulated UPS.)

I don't use upssched myself, but from looking at the code, it seems that the 
timers are only stored in memory. See checktimers():
