I don't think this went through the first time....

I share my reminder files in a Dropbox folder between the two system so they are always in sync. Generally, I run the reminders for the day and pipe them into the appropriate display program for each computer: growlnotify on the Mac, gxmessage on Ubuntu. This works great either manually or via a cron job. I run these with remind -q. However, what doesn't work are timed reminders of appointments I may have during the day. I can't quite figure out how to make it work so that when a reminder pops, it gets displayed with the appropriate program on each machine. Since each uses a different program, I can't quite hardwire it into the reminder itself using RUN. I'd like to be able to have a conditional that determines which OS is running (possibly by querying uname) and set the program in the reminder file itself. Any suggestions as to how I might do this?
