I've been using TaskWarrior (https://taskwarrior.org/) to manage my todos. I wish I could remember all of the magic I performed to make it work with remind :( but ... I have a reminder that looks like this: >FSET _taskstring() "task add" >FSET atnoon() "due:" + datetime(trigdate(),12,0) > >rem mon 1 SPECIAL TASK [_taskstring()] Splunk Review [atnoon()] then I have a perl script that looks for the TASK tag: >open (REMIND,"remind -p1 /home/hymie/.reminders.osam 1 $ARGV[0] $ARGV[1] |") > or die "Cannot run remind command: $!\n"; >while (<REMIND>) >{ > next unless m{..../../.. TASK . . . (.*)}; > print "$1\n"; >} >close (REMIND); So once a month (around the 15th of January), I run my script % rem2task feb 2022 and it will spit out this command which needs to be executed task add Splunk Review due:2022-02-01T12:00 It's not perfect, but it works for me. === But I think the underlying point is ... remind is a calendar, not a todo manager. Use it for what it does, and use something else for what it doesn't do. remind can **feed** my task tracker, but it won't **be** my task tracker. --hymie! http://nasalinux.net/~hymie [email protected] _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] https://dianne.skoll.ca/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
