Sorry Reid, spelled your name wrong, and also missed replying to the users group (I'm more used to google groups)
Matthias, I wasn't sure if your focus was on the single quote or the "accat" command. The way I showed actually did work the way I had it, but only if the remind file was in the home folder (so I didn't think it was an issue of the quote). It took me a while to find any referrence to "accat" but it seems to be used with some kind of engineering thing called Ansys, to "Concatenate multiple areas in preparation for mapped meshing". Is that what you were referring to? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Parker <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 1:24 PM Subject: Re: [Remind-Fans] using remind with dropbox To: [email protected] Thanks Ried, On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 10:01 AM, Reid Thompson <[email protected]>wrote: > > 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 > I tried that, both at the terminal and in the startup bash script. It seemed to be indicating proper function when I did the command at the terminal, but neither seemed to work in the end though, i.e. when I'd change the file in the one longer path, the new reminder didn't pop up (and the file in the home folder didn't change). I may be misunderstanding what you're suggesting though. I'm thinking maybe I'll have to use realtime sync to just sync the two files. I'll look into Matthias's suggestion first though. _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
