Plus actually works the other direction. > REM Oct 1 2011 +5 MSG blahblah
Make a reminder for an event on October 1, 2011 that is also shown on Sep 26,27,28,29, and 30. To do exactly what you're asking you'd have to: REM Sep 30 2011 *4 UNTIL Oct 4 2011 MSG blahblah Remind isn't really meant to make reminders after a trigger has happened, but you can fake it by limiting a recurrence to only happen once, as I've done above. The middle of the manual (Backward Scanning, Advance Warning, Periodic Reminders, and Expiry Dates) explains it a bit: http://linux.die.net/man/1/remind There's also a good presentation on the triggers at www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/remind-oclug.pdf -Tim On Oct 4, 2011, at 5:44 PM, "Ted Rolle Jr." <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd like to have a reminder n days after an event. > For example, and event occurred on Sep 30, 2011. > i'd like to know the date 5 days later, > REM Sep 30 2011 +5 MSG Should be Oct 4, shouldn't it? > remind (3.01.10) has no entry in October. > REM Oct 1 2011 +5 MSG blahblah > puts a message on October 1, 2011. > Ted > _______________________________________________ > 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 _______________________________________________ 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
