i currently use org-agenda-to-appt to make emacs make an emacs window pop up when a timed task shows up. this works well!
however, for some of these tasks i want to do something in addition. i want to run a shell command. i'd put the shell command in the properties drawer like #+begin_quote :PROPERTIES: :Appt-shell-command: "mycommand whatever whatever" :END: #+end_quote the windows would pop up as normal, but also the shell command would run. there woudn't be any change to the window layout; the shell command would run silently. can anybody design this? i have no clue. samuel -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress.
