I'd like to be able to run remind at home in daemon mode and be able to add
a reminder for home from my computer at work by changing the file there and
having dropbox change the file automatically at home. When I try to get
remind started with the remind file not in a root file it says there's an
error "can't access file". I don't totally understand all that's written in
the man page, but I get the impression that (maybe) you can only run remind
from the root directory.
Other than that, maybe I'm using the wrong quotes or something... here's
what I'm trying:
remind -z '-kgmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK" -center -font "serif 16"
-fg "#46f" -bg "#000000" -fg "#20E834" -wrap -title "here is a reminder for
you" %s&' "/home/david/Dropbox/Main Documents/.homereminders-popups"
I've tried with single quotes and the quote thingie to the left of the "1"
key. Is it the space I have in the folder name? (It would be a real
headache to change that as I have all sorts of references to it elsewhere)
try
ln -s "/home/david/Dropbox/Main Documents/.homereminders-popups"
~/.homereminders-popups
remind -z '-kgmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK" -center -font "serif 16"
-fg "#46f" -bg "#000000" -fg "#20E834" -wrap -title "here is a reminder for
you" %s&' ~/.homereminders-popups
