That should have worked.
Another option is to start Remind using "tkremind", the graphical
front-end. It has its own mechanism for popping up timed reminders
(using the -z0 server mode).
Something like this *should* work for your use-case though, assuming
you're using Remind 04.02.04 or later:
remind -a '-k:notify-send "%s" &' ~/.reminders
The "-a" tells Remind not to print timed reminders immediately.
The colon before notify-send tells remind to invoke this command
only for background timed reminders; normal reminders will simply
be printed to the terminal as usual.
There's no way to tell Remind to issue any timed reminders within the next
10 minutes.
The "-z -k" choice should have worked too. Don't know why it didn't; perhaps
you can run a test against this reminder file:
REM AT 23:59 +1440 *1 MSG Ping every minute - %1
which should issue a reminder once a minute.

Dianne.
